Dear Alan,

I wholeheartedly support Jordan

We can not reconsider what we were about to finalize from our Paris Meeting and start a new round of discussion just 10 days before the expiry of Deadline.

I do not think that what Alan proposed is simpler as there is bnot clear criteria to examine its simplicity.

I am not in favor of the continuation of the discussion in this regard.

As Keith Drazak told in Chat, CMSM is a compromise even if I did not agree to use the term "compromise "as it is the only way that all six?Seven powers could be exercised by the community

Legal Advisers have comprehensively described the problem of Designator, unless it is accompanied by the UA approach that we have totally abandoned

Regards

Kavouss

Trying to revive a Designator Model, or any other model that cannot
provide enforceability[*], is hardly the way to achieve support for
transition. While I understand that you don't think enforceability is
important, you surely must realise by now that it is considered
essential by many.

Even if you succeeded in pushing CCWG into this change, all you would
achieve would be to convince a sizable chunk of the community to
campaign against transition.

Have you communicated to your colleagues in ALAC that you say were
enthused by this supposed alternative that it would just provoke
opposition to transition altogether? Or are they under the impression
that this is something that is likely to win a broad consensus?

Malcolm.

[*] I'm simplifying slightly by mentioning only enforceability: having a
Member also changes how the fiduciary duty works, which is also
crucially important. Becky explained this much more articulately than I can.
