Dear Colleagues, Many thanks to Jorge and Damien for these feedbacks. These questions are indeed quite important and that is the reason why we requested legal advice. In order to achieve better understanding of the questions (I must admit I may not have fully grasped the underlying expectations) we suggest to dedicate a part of the CCWG call on tuesday 16 June for this clarification. Direct communication will certainly be a more efficient process. Best regards, Mathieu Le 10/06/2015 13:20, Gregory, Holly a écrit :
Dear Jorge, We will take another look at the questions if the co-chairs direct. It would be helpful if the co-chairs would clarify the questions. We are apparently not fully understanding them as stated. Kind regards, Holly

Dear Mathieu,
Thanks a lot for this document.
After having a first look into it, I would just like to observe that -at least regarding the questions I have posed in CCWG calls or on the list- they have only been partially answered.
To be more specific:
1) answer to question 4 misses the point an does not provide a response to the dangers in asymmetrical composition between GAC and the eventual GAC-UA;
2) response to question 5 is also very incomplete as it does not provide an answer to the very specific questions contained in that question (/Question 5: As to the operation of the UA, while nowadays the infringement or differing interpretation of GAC rules of procedure (e.g. operating principles) have no legal consequence, this would change in case these rules would be applied to an existing legal person (the UA)? What would be the consequences of conflicts of interpretation between members of the GAC-UA and/or of external stakeholders affected by decisions of the GAC-UA? What legislation would they apply? What would be the responsibilities of GAC-UA officers and/or members affected by such a conflict? How would they specifically protected from liability? To what extent?/).
3) response to question 6 contains a number of “desiderata” (“so long”… “should not”… “we are confident”) instead of a detailed legal analysis.
…
Personally I feel that answering quickly, reutilizing former documents and/or linking generally to them is not really the proper way forward. After having a look into several inputs made in the public consultation, I see some of these issues put forward by different contributors, which is again a sign of them being serious points which need to be addressed in depth.
Therefore, I would kindly ask you to look again into these issues accordingly
Best regards
Jorge Cancio
