[gnso-acc-sgb] Report for tomorrow
This report prepares the group for tomorrow's call and is intended to set the agenda for it. I apologize for its lateness; it involved compiling and trying to make sense of a lot of our discussions, a long and difficult task. A pdf and Word doc are attached. In this report I identify the key points of contention and propose actions in an attempt to move forward. Let me call your attention to the action items it contains. These will make more sense once you have read the entire report, but it might be useful to expose all members to them upfront: Propositions suggested by the Chair: a. There is consensus that LEAs can be recognized categorically as a party with a legitimate need for access. b. The subgroup will not be able to achieve consensus or even majority agreement on private party access; therefore we should, in our remaining time, concentrate exclusively on reaching agreement on the mechanisms and type of access to be granted LEAs. c. We should hold a straw poll on whether a special sectoral approach for banks has widespread support d. We should hold a straw poll on the degree of support that exists for the principle that private parties should only be granted Type 1 access. (Type 1 access is defined in the report) I have not attached all the proposals to this draft as the proposals are all available elsewhere and there has (alas) been no conslidation or modification of proposals in response to discussion. I think we will need at least one more telecon (May 29) and possibly two to finalize our straw polls and report.
