5:23 - Can you provide more detail on what was covered in the July consultation document and how the draft may have taken previous input submitted in response to the December consultation document?  
12:32 - There seems to be a point of disagreement among the countries on the two scoping alternatives (alternative A and alternative B). Can you explain why that is and tell us more about the different alternatives?

25:06 - Regarding the July consultation document, you had mentioned that the Pricing Matrix is the “core” of Amount B. Can you explain how it works?
