Written Submissions to Panel
for
Fair Allocations of $225 Million
Restitution Fund
Written questions or comments about your interest in the CA
Restitution Fund will be welcomed to help the Forum’s experts Panel define
the issues that should be addressed at the open meeting scheduled for
Wednesday, March 9.
The provisions summarized below are intended to support your
free and open presentation of views. You can submit a brief question or a
lengthy opinion, from yourself or a representative, with or without public
identification of the source. And, unless you decide otherwise, whatever
you present will be posted on the
CA Forum web site for public access and included in the Panel’s report
to the Fund’s Administrator.
§
Time for submissions: Anything you want to present
should be sent in electronic form to the following address by the end of
next week, March 4, so that members of the Panel will have a chance to read
it before the March 9 meeting:
ca@shareholderforum.com
§
Professional support: There is no need for you to
engage professionals to present arguments on your behalf. The purpose of
the Forum’s Panel is to provide you with the insights of leading academic
authorities who can help define the legal and policy issues raised by your
concerns. We will also be inviting recognized professionals to participate
in the discussions. And if the Administrator decides that any unresolved
issues require additional professional attention, he will be able to engage
his own experts. What the Administrator wants to know is simply what you
think is fair.
§ Privacy: Anyone who prefers not to be publicly
identified should tell me so. Whatever you submit will be presented
publicly with attribution only to a category of investor (for example,
“individual” or “public pension fund”). The Panel members and the
Administrator will be privately informed of your identity only for purposes
of source validation.
§
Separate advocacy: One Forum participant has indicated
that some CA shareholders may prefer to present arguments to the
Administrator strictly to advocate their own interests as opposed to those
of competing investors, rather than participate in an exchange of views to
help define the issues. Anyone wishing to avoid the public review process
should clearly state that intent in the submission. If you send me a
submission intended for separate advocacy, I will pass it on to the
Administrator but it will not be presented for Forum review or included in
the Panel’s report to the Administrator.
Please let me know if you have any questions, or any suggestions
for the Forum’s further support of your interests.
