	I agree with this position. The private auction path has been there all along, it has been obvious that in some respects it is a better deal for the businesses involved, and revisiting that choice now is inappropriate.
	Of course, this is just the drafting team - hopefully more of us will get involved with this discussion once it leaves the terms of reference stage.
