Marilyn I think you're right -- and they're about to be more fatigued with Wellington. I suggest that we leave the public comment forum open but that, for the purposes of capturing input for the next version of the Initial Report (which will go out today) we deal only with what has been received by the deadline. To confirm, we have many contributions via the call for papers and also through the public comment archive. Liz .....................................................

Good idea to extend the comment period and republicize BUT we have several contributions via the white papers that were contributed, right? Regards, Marilyn Cade

(sorry if you are reading this twice - I sent a similar message much earlier today, but the note hasn't appeared on the Council list - I'm assuming that either a) my mailer completely ate the earlier message and it in fact did not go out, b) I got caught in a spam trap somewhere along the way, or c) I'm going crazy.)
I've just peeked into the public comment archive for the PDP-Dec05 and noticed that we don't really have any meaty submissions. Given that we had a large number of substantive submissions in the last round, I think it might be worthwhile to extended the comment period for another 7 to 14 days, reiterate a call for public comments and also underscore the request for comments to each of our constituencies.
I find it hard to believe that the community has no input regarding this latest call for comments.
