Christopher:
+1 to your position against auctions. 

The fact is underserved communities without a rich sponsor shall always be further disadvantaged. Especially now that we know the mood pertaining auction proceeds have not improved the prospects for this community!

Our side got spooked and fears being seen as advocating an affirmative action in favour of the economically weak and dispossessed - our [or I should say some of us] objective for the Applicant Support Initiative -  and we are where we are today.

The ruthlessly deterministic side of one's mind say it is always a good thing to help someone with too much money than sense spend it ...in the public interest. Unhappily, one cannot guarantee outcomes. 

A bold statement against is better than the "on-the-one-hand-er-maybe-depends-on-the-other-hand...." of the draft.

Good for you!

Refreshing to see your position against auctions boldly stated.  Indeed, it is a far cry better that the muddled 'well, yes,..no, ...but maybe if..' offered by the draft, seemingly predicated on the authors' view that it is the conductor of the auction that will eliminate 'private collisions'. 

Cheers,

Dear Justine:

Thankyou for this update. However, I don’t find responses to the recommendations/questions  on the revised slides. Perhaps the new slides have not yet been posted - ?

I would have a few comments and suggestions,. But I have great technical difficulty in posting on the workspace .Perhaps a staff member could walk me through what I am supposed to be doing to achieve that..

Meanwhile, for reference, I attach my original draft responses. 

Best regards

Christopher
