Good afternoon
Thank you Lars, to confirm (as you say) the GAC advice in this area and also concerns that have been raised by ALAC.
Best

Thanks, Rubens!
You are right that there is no policy on this, in fact, as you know there is no policy on private resolution, other than joint ventures, at all. However, there is GAC advice on the
issue that asks for private auctins to be prohibited or strongly disincentivised. We expect the outcome of the research to also inform the Board’s response to this GAC advice. We will add this caveat to the plan.
Best. Lars

"strongly disincentivize private resolution of contention sets"
Elisa,
I believe there is no support in SubPro policy for disincentivizing private resolutions, only to disincentive applying just for profiting from private auctions. On the contrary, contention set resolution solutions such as Joint Ventures
were explicitly added as allowed. I wonder if the actual request for the vendor was more nuanced than that ?
