Avri, Thanks for this and for agreeing to assist with further co-ordination on the Separation Process / Separation Review Process. Reading through the Sidley Memo dated 3rd May 2015, I noted the following point: Note to CWG: What is the intent of having the IFR recommend a “Separation Review” rather than having separation be one of the many recommendations the IFR may make? Meaning what is the benefit of a separate Separation Review process that is incremental to the IFR? This memo does not yet discuss the Separation Review and mechanism as that is pending further CWG discussion.] It seems to me that we should at least be able to articulate an answer to the question above or point to where it has already been answered or consider a variant i.e. potentially not have the incremental process to the IFR.

I have, incidentally, suggested renaming this as the Separability Process to avoid confusion with the main separation discussion based around affiliates and the like. avri _____ <http://www.avast.com/> Avast logo This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. www.avast.com <http://www.avast.com/>
