It seems to me it's a threshold that almost renders the process useless, given the fact that if you're going to combat foreign interference then the most effective way of doing it is in real time, when it's happening. That didn't happen.
With that, I want to make note of recommendation 11 of the Rosenberg report. It states, “There should be further study of the issue of whether the Protocol should be amended to provide for the possibility of announcements below the threshold set out in section 6.0.” Section 6.0 is the section relating to informing the public.
Recommendations do not come out of thin air. Was there a disagreement amongst panel members about whether that threshold had been met?
