<p dir="ltr">Hello,</p>
<p dir="ltr">While it's fine to move this to appropriate list. It may be helpful to indicate that 3 lists are involved in this so it may be good to discuss the issue with the individual OCs.</p>
<p dir="ltr">That said, I am certain the ship has sailed on this particular question in that  ICG has completed its process (well almost) in producing a single proposal where each OCs have proposed a clear separation process post-transition and can indeed implement whenever required.</p>
