Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Hi Susan and all, Thanks again for all your hard work on this. As you know, one of my main concerns with proxies is to have a clear chain of responsibilities. To me, ambiguity about this is a major contributor to the current problems. Having just read the latest recommendations document, it places your proposal as a supplement to the Dakar proposal, and this got me thinking. My question is: is the intent of your proposal that the agent assumes all rights and responsibilities in all cases (as we discussed in Dakar), AND in cases where the agent is within the current contractual net, they ALSO assume additional responsibilities relating to revealing any other relationships they have entered into. I assume the intent is that these additional responsibilities do not undermine or confuse the clear chain we were hoping to achieve in the Dakar proposal? Is this correct, or am I stretching this too far? If it is correct, can any of our lawyers or others advise whether this sort of thing is possible - ie could we achieve both goals?
