Siva,

Thanks again. Is there a reason why Robert is identified separately? Is his contribution (your #40) made separately from those (not yet present in your list) made by the SSAC?

Siva,

I'll pick those up tomorrow. Could you confirm who the authors of these are, e.g., the "Olivier", the "Robert", etc., in case there is a need for clarification.

Thanks in advance,
Eric

Thank You Eric.  I have added four more scenarios and wrote down some preventive / mitigation pointers.

Colleagues,

During yesterday's ConCall Sivasubramanian M provided a link to a set of contingencies / scenarios he is managing. For my own purposes I've used some of each of his contingencies / scenarios to form a short, and possibly relevant identifier.

This note is simply informative, providing the URL of the original, below my personal short identifiers, to allow Mr. Sivasubramanian to know that I'm reading his document, and to provide you all with the URL for your own purposes.
