[Ccwg-auctionproceeds] Fwd: FW: CCWG Auction Proceeds Consensus Call - Deadline 21 May 2020

[Erika Mann]

    Dear Robert,

    Noting John Levine's recent resignation from the CCWG, can you kindly
provide input as the remaining SSAC representative on the CCWG?
Specifically, is there any objection to the Co-Chairs' consensus
designation at this stage or concerns from the SSAC about recommendation 1
that the the CCWG should be aware of? Can you kindly respond no later than
Wednesday 27 May if there are any issues to flag?

I hope all is well with you and your family!

    Kind regards,
    Erika

                Hi John,

                Thanks for your reply.

                Taking a look at the SSAC comment on the proposed Final
Report, the SSAC provided the following input: "The SSAC does not object to
any of the 12 recommendation in the report but feels that it is unfortunate
that they were not able to be more specific, especially in regard to the
exact mechanism to be employed. Nevertheless, the SSAC supports the
finalization of this report following the Public Comment period so that the
work of the CCWG can be concluded."

                Would it be possible to provide additional detail about
SSAC's concern regarding Recommendation 1, as it is not immediately clear
how the recommendation is inconsistent with the SSAC's position stated
above? Is there an edit that the SSAC can suggest that would make the SSAC
more comfortable with the language in the recommendation? Thank you in
advance for any additional clarification you can provide.

                As a reminder to the group, "consensus" is defined "a
position where a small minority disagrees, but most agree." The Co-Chairs
will use this definition as a point of reference as feedback in received on
the list.

                Kind regards,
                Emily

                    The SSAC does not agree with this.  You can send the
report, but you do not have consensus.
