A later draft was circulated, in which input provided by NCSG members was added to the answers of the survey questions. This created a problem, because some of the text provided in the file wasn?t viewable because of the insufficient size of the text box.

I did this, so that there would be a readily available reference to the NCSG response that anyone could access, and also hoped that the formatting would somehow change to make all the answers viewable. I thought this possible, because there were other submissions on the public comment forum in which the formatting was different.

However, Marika was kind enough to provide a PDF extract of the NCSG response to the Web-based survey. I?ve attached it to this email.

The current NCSG submission on the public comment forum appears to be nothing but random lines of code that aren?t really very helpful to anyone who would like to look them up.

There is no action required on the part of the Policy Committee, but thought it would be a good idea to have everyone on the same page to avoid any confusion. Certainly don?t want anyone to think that staff tampered with our response in any way.
