Dear Co-Chairs, as you know I am all for decision making taking place in the plenum, and not in sub teams, but this response below sounds to me a little like Thomas is worried about loosing control over the (perhaps) many sub teams.

Dear Roelof, we will have considerable preparatory work done when the so called "public comment review tool“, a document in which all comments go, is populated.
Avri suggested (rightfully) that the analysis of comments should not be done by subgroups, but by the whole group.
We will do what we can in order to group comments by subject and identify duplicate comments so we use the CCWG’s time in the most efficient way.
Ideally, we should not need the whole 3 hours, but we felt that we should make sure everyone is prepared we might need more than the usual 2 hours. Also, we thought this would be less of a burden for all than needing two calls for the exercise (although I caution that this might still be needed in case we get too many comments).
Finally, please note the whole group will not find solutions to the comments, but go through them and allocate them to sub-groups where action needs to be taken.
I hope this helps.
Best, Thomas [...]
