    <p>Agree completely!  The forms are a horror and limit input on key

      <p>I agree that one size cannot fit all, but the general info
        about NCSG must be there and the website needs to be updated
        with new comments.   I think we have fallen away from a standard
        format partly because ICANN staff have been experimenting with
        new formats themselves....e.g. these wretched google forms that
        only accept so many words in a box,, forms that preclude you
        commenting on material that they do not include in their form. 
        In these cases, we need to return to a standard prose document
        that compiles all our responses to the questions that were not
        asked, ones we wish to raise.</p>
      <p>I am very sorry to disappoint Judith and Remmie but this thing
        deserved a lot more of our attention.<br>

              <div><b><u>PUBLIC COMMENT TEMPLATE</u></b><br>
              </div>
              <div>In the past (as far as I can recollect), we've simply
                used past comments as a template for new comments,
                though not explicit. Considering that different
                submitted comments have different structures, newcommers
                have expressed frustration and how quick it is to work
                out how we expect penholders to structure comments. With
                that in mind, I thought I'd solicit your views on a
                proposal to create a public comment template and if
                agreeable, I'd like to have a few people volunteer to
                build such a template for PC endorsement.</div>
