Hi

I am interested to know how do you calculate these values:

```auto
NumProposers: 30,
SoftCommitteeSize: 2500,
SoftCommitteeThreshold: 1870,
CertCommitteeSize: 1000,
CertCommitteeThreshold: 720,
NextCommitteeSize: 10000,
NextCommitteeThreshold: 7750,
LateCommitteeSize: 10000,
LateCommitteeThreshold: 7750,
RedoCommitteeSize: 10000,
RedoCommitteeThreshold: 7750,
DownCommitteeSize: 10000,
DownCommitteeThreshold: 7750,

```

They are not same as algorand [spec\_v1](https://github.com/algorandfoundation/specs/blob/master/overview/Algorand_v1_spec-2.pdf).

Th only thing I could find is this comment:

```auto
// v8 uses parameters and a seed derivation policy (the "twin seeds") from Georgios' new analysis

```

Georgios’ new analysis???  
Everyone has consensus about Georgios’ new analysis?

Thanks
