[gnso-vi-feb10] FW: Memo on Potential Harms in Context of Market Power Issues and Legal Precedents
_____ From: Austin, Scott [mailto:SAustin@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, 07 August 2010 04:00 To: Mike O'Connor; roberto@xxxxxxxxx; owner-gnso-vi-feb10@xxxxxxxxx Cc: Rosette, Kristina; cdigangi@xxxxxxxx; cchicoine@xxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Memo on Potential Harms in Context of Market Power Issues and Legal Precedents Mikey and Roberto: <<Memo_to_VIWG_re_Potential_Harms.DOC¤>> I was asked to prepare a list of potential harms and the memo attached is a proposed response. It is only to offer a framework for discussion with some concrete examples of how legal precedent in the past has been used to address harms and delineate both compliance and policy measures that may be helpful to our cause. I especially felt the need to address market power and market abuse issues as that had been expressly omitted in other lists. I apologize that I could not get this out sooner to meet a deadline by noon yesterday but there was too much to summarize in that period of time. Best regards, Scott Scott R.
