I agree with Milton, but think it should be an addendum, not in the report.

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.
