A note on ideal C$^\ast$-completions and amenability

For a discrete group $G$, we consider certain ideals $\mathcal{I}\subset c_0(G)$ of sequences with prescribed rate of convergence to zero. We show that the equality between the full group C$^\ast$-algebra of $G$ and the C$^\ast$-completion $\mathrm{C}_{\mathcal{I}}^\ast(G)$ in the sense of Brown and Guentner implies that $G$ is amenable.
