<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The staff understanding is what you described below - i.e. that specific issues and problems be identified as objectively as possible (hence the list of suggested topics), and a set of standard high-level
questions be applied to each topic - however, we invite Heather (who suggested Q1-4), J. Scott (who chaired the call) and others who were on the call to clarify and/or amplify, as appropriate.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">For Q5, our recollection is that this was suggested during the call when the specific Charter question regarding the possibility of responding after the default period was being discussed. More specifically,
the suggestion was about how many respondents managed to prevail after providing responses following the default period. We can amend Q5 to make it clearer – noting that for some of the identified topics, not all five questions will necessarily be applicable
(at least, not in their original phrasing).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

to be sure I understand what the intention is. Would you mind clarifying that my understanding of what is being proposed is correct? The strawman says “</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">a majority of attendees supported the idea that, instead of a detailed
list of refined Charter questions, a shorter list of specific topics (based on the existing Charter questions and any new suggestions adopted) should be developed”.

<li class="Default" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79">The existing charter questions have been reviewed to identify the range of topics that they identify as needing review: Complaint, Response, Standard
of Proof, etc </span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="Default" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79">Each of these topics will then be addressed by considering the five high level questions “has it been used”, “what was the original purpose, have
there been unintended consequences”, etc</span><o:p></o:p></li><li class="Default" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F4E79">Using this approach we will not need to go through each charter question and revise it for sense and neutrality; rather that by conducting the exercise
set out in bullets 1 and 2 our consideration will effectively ensure that we address the charter question and other issues on that topic from a neutral standpoint. Is that correct?</span><o:p></o:p></li></ul>
