Bezos, my colleagues brought up they were discussing thirdparty sellers this policy specifically noted possible loopholes that allow amazon to review nonpublic and aggregate data to inform private rams even in instances where there are only a few thirdparty sellers. Where exactly does amazon draw the line . Data would bee more than one seller . The person seeing the report would have no way of knowing how rs are inside that group or what the breakdown would be between those sellers. That is different from a list or product ranking which we do make public. Does amazon allow the use of aggregate data to inform private label amazon brands when there only a few sellers for a product . Does amazon look at i could dictate up when there are only two sellers of a product . Yes, sir. Isand my correct amazon conducting an internal investigation on the use of thirdparty data .

Tumlin will talk about this, but last week we did have a press event with supervisors peskin and preston announcing that we will be delaying our fare increases. Obviously when we were voting upon that fare increase, we could not have understood the magnitude of what was before us and not to mention we didnt really have a path forward in being able to fund the operations, so i want to thank you supervisors peskin and preston for working with us to come up with solutions which i cannot tell you what they are today.
