DOC has, after all, been careful over the years to avoid do anything at the root that would annoy other governments.
I hear you, but it doesn't add up. The DOC has no foreign mandate that I'm aware of, and I have no standing with them as a foreign citizen. So while I see the words on the screen in front of me, I'm a bit confused about whether or not me speaking to them will carry any weight at all, or whether this is just window-dressing.
I read it as primarily an invitation to foreign governments. They can accept comments from anyone, but I agree that individuals outside the US aren't likely to be high on the list of influencers. R's, John
