RE: [gnso-vi-feb10] Recommendation: Eliminate Section 4 of the Initial Report

["Neuman, Jeff" <Jeff.Neuman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The discussion may need to be documented, but not their report.  This section 
talks only of their report and not of the discussion.  I would rather produce 
the transcript and detail both the agreements and disagreements of the group.  
This doesn't do that.  It summarizes the report basically ignoring the fact 
that a discussion took place.

We had a very long, very detailed discussion with the economists, and I think 
it is very fair to document that.

Subject: [gnso-vi-feb10] Recommendation: Eliminate Section 4 of the Initial 
Report

All,

In reading the Initial Report, I couldn't help but feel that the inclusion of 
Section 4 is inappropriate.  Not only is it inaccurate to state that we 
evaluated the Salop report, we in actuality never really discussed it.  We had 
1 call with the economists and there was such large disagreement with many of 
the statements made by the economists.  In addition, there were several points 
the economists made that were not in the initial report at all; Namely that 
requiring the use of registrars at all is economically inefficient.

My point is not to debate the above, but to recommend we delete the section.  
It improperly gives too much attention to a report we did not really consider.  
It may be staff's position, but it is not the view of the WG and therefore 
needs to go.

Thanks.
