Dear WG members, Please find attached for your review in preparation for the WG meeting next week on 14 July: (1) the first version of the Public Comment Review Tool; (2) an overview summary chart of the responses received to the Template for Responses that we provided as an alternative feedback mechanism to the Public Comment Forum; and (3) a selected compilation from all the comments received in the Public Comment Forum. Please note the following: For (1) - this incorporates all Template responses received covering the first 9 of the WG¹s 20 Preliminary Recommendations. It therefore is not a complete collection of all the responses received to all the preliminary recommendations, and does not include comments on the WG¹s open questions. This version of the Tool also incorporates those comments received in the Public Comment Forum that specifically addressed one or more of the 9 preliminary recommendations covered. As staff continues to collate and catalog the remaining Template responses and public comments, we will prepare a second version of the Tool. We hope to be able to complete this exercise by the end of next week, if at all possible ­ however, for now we wanted to get what we were able to do since the Forum closed on Tuesday to you as early as we could. For (2) - this was derived from the 352 Template responses we received, of which 208 were started but not filled out (although at least one person then sent their responses to the Forum as a public comment, and it would appear that a few others returned and filled out at least part of the Template as a separate response subsequently). For (3) - please note the disclaimer and explanation included in the document. This document was prepared in the hope that it would help WG members as you go through the over 11,400 public comments received but it is a collection of excerpts only and as such not at all a comprehensive representation of either the scope, variety or number of responses in the Forum. Finally, again in the hope that it will aid your review of the public comments, our IT department will be categorizing all the comments into at least two groups, one being those that originated with form or template letters. We will send that to you as soon as we receive it; please note, however, that the ³separation² can only be done by subject title and as such there will be some form letters that are not captured this way. Please let us know if we have made any errors or omissions in our compilation and collation!
