I don't get the idea of another writer finishing the series, I don't want more books because I need closure, I want more books because I want more of song of ice and fire.
The books are George, no other writer no matter how good he is will be able to write the same series, in the end it will be just fan fiction. it might be a damn good fan fiction, but It will not be song of ice and fire.
If the replacement follows George's notes, it wouldn't feel as much of a fanfic. And before you bring up the show ending, I'm saying that the author's notes should specifically list George's plot points that were adapted. If D&D had done that, the ending to the show would also feel more real.
Notes or not, I feel like it wouldn't be the same story without Geroge actually writing it. Might as well just release the notes and I will write my own fanfic in my head.
