<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Thanks Terri, Julie,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Having listened to the call recording, it is plain to see there is strong (and well-reasoned) disagreement on whether to proceed with a “subjective and qualitative review”
of URS decisions with respect to the standard of evidence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Given this, and perhaps as a start, we can look to see the number of cases which have been appealed -- whether on the merits or following a default -- to see if registrants
themselves believe the standard is being misapplied. A statistically low number of appeals would suggest the answer may be “no”.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">If on the other hand, there is a significant instance of appeals, that may merit the type of “review” proposed by some WG members. For that event, perhaps the WG should already
agree to avoid an approach that would risk re-litigating the decisions themselves; instead, the WG could agree to
<i>only</i> review select URS decisions with a view to possible “improvements” <i>
going forward</i> (e.g., as I believe Jeff Neuman proposed, suggesting that decisions should contain some minimal reasoning/elements).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
