[NCSG-PC] Proposal : Quick Guidelines for Public Comment Writing

[Ayden Férdeline]

I do like the idea of getting some document control in place; ie the publication / approval date, and logging any later corrections (if applicable).

However I am not a fan of a letterhead / branding template for comments. I think that would look a bit odd. I worry it couod be seen as style over substance.

Personally I like comments on white paper, Times New Roman size 12, with numbered paragraphs so that arguments can easily be cited. Clean, simple, and everyone and all word processing programs are able to create documents like this too... :-)

We can also may add some letterhead with NCSG logo and Name but that is quite optional :)

It can also helps us within the PC to quickly assess a document by using a common framework. Most of the contents derived from the course which was very appreciated by all the participants.
