I do think that our one interface with people who actually have
expertise on vertical integration issues deserves some special
consideration. No problem with including the critical questions a la
Kathy as long as we are impartial and nondiscriminatory in the questions
we include.

If we include, which I do NOT recommend, it should be in background, but
should not be called out in its own section and should not purport to
state facts.  In addition, it should include everything including all of
the questions raised (including by other economists) and should include
the flaws exposed during that call.  Milton, we have been meeting 2X per
week for how many weeks at 1.5 to 2 hours per pop.  2500+ e-mails,
etc....

I don't think 1 60 minute conversation should get that much attention
that it is called out in a separate section.

I normally agree with Jeff N. on procedural issues but in this case I
don't . 

We did have an extensive, 60+ minute discussion with Salop and Wright
and we did debate their ideas on the list and this section should be
included.

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.
