[CCWG-ACCT] The 60 percent solution

[Kavouss Arasteh]

Dear Brett
I think it id more straight forward to take 60% than Becky ,s proposal not because mine is better but more simpler.
Regards
I appeal to you and your distinguished colleagues  as well as Becky to kindly consider 60% with favourable thought
