Chris - seeing as you're in touch with Campbell, there are some questions regarding the Rimini Protocal that I'd really like to see clarified.

Try as I have, I'm stuck on a series of points.

1/. Why should nations/regimes who believe they can gain relative wealth & power through the post-peak stresses be interested ?

2/. Why should developing nations accept a pro rata decline of oil usage with the major consumers ?

3/. Where is the sufficiently cogent motivation (pre-crash) for transforming the global oil business from maximum obscurantism to total reserve transparency ?

4/. What are the principles under which the desiderata list of objectives will be decided ?

Various other questions are pending, but I'd be glad if you can clarify these at all.

regards,

Backstop
