<div>It is not unreasonable to suggest that, since the NGPC is recommending a level of RC protection, that the onus is on those who don't like it to propose an alternative path. You're welcome to advocate outright rejection of any protection -- which appears to be the current position in the absence of an alternate proposal -- but I don't consider outright rejection to be in (my perception of) the public interest, and the ALAC position (and Board advice) is already on record.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I also don't think that a flat rejection at this stage -- years after the conversations, bullying and eventual compromises began -- will succeed to influence the final decision making (as you know, consensus != unanimity). But the all-or-nothing gambit is yours to take.</div>
