Re: [gnso-acc-sgb] Report for tomorrow

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Milton and all sgb members,

  Thank you for your report which I found very useful and
interesting.  I did also consider a few points in  your report
differing from my enturpration of what has been discussed
so far.

To wit:
Your ?:
"What costs are incurred and who bears them?"
I don't recall any discussion directly on whom bares
the costs.  I assume the whom will eventually be
the consumer.

As to "Special sectors." i.e. banks, I would add that
banks as a special sector, are also not widely considered
by consumers to be reasonably well regulated in some
instances which gives concern as to banks as a sector
should be third parties.  Yet some banks would be
fairly well suited for such a role.

Regarding, Propositions suggested by the Chair:

"that LEAs can be recognized categorically as a party with
a legitimate need for access" is false.  Many LEA's yes,
all, no.

As  to "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.", I tend to agree, as lone as this does not
apply to all LEAs, as some are definitely not legitimate.

And finally regarding,
"c. We should hold a straw poll on whether a special sectoral approach
for banks"
I agree, however we should structure such a straw poll as to delineate
between
some or all banks.
