In accordance with NER Clause 3.15.7B (c)(1), AEMO is also required to appoint an independent expert to assess and determine the additional compensation claims for the Directed Participant that exceeds the $20,000 threshold and exceeds the $100,000 aggregate threshold. 
In accordance with NER Clause 3.15.7A (b1) for services other than Energy and Market Ancillary Services, AEMO is required to appoint an independent expert to assess and determine the fair payment price for those Directed Participants. 

AEMO nominated an independent expert on 17 April 2020 with no objections received.
