[NCSG-EC] Constituency review - questionnaire draft

[Robin Gross]

Hi Tapani,

One comment.  

RE:    Please also describe the process how your constituency makes
>>   and agrees on public comments, in particular including if and
>>   how non-members can contribute.

I think this issue is important enough to break apart into 2 questions.

So instead of saying, “in particular” because both parts are equally important to know, just ask the 2 issues separately.
1.  how is it done?
2. if any non-members participate, how is that handled?

Thanks,
Robin
