<div dir="auto">Alternatively, we can add words like “perceived”, “claimed” and “alleged” liberally throughout the rest of the document. I think the first option is easier to deal with. Thank you.</div>

Work Track members identified perceived problems / negative experiences from the 2012 round.” This edit follows comments that the sentence was phrased in an awkward manner and concern that it is redundant to use the terms “problems” and “negative experiences”
in the same sentence. The edit seeks to address the underlying concern while acknowledging that these terms are related but have different meanings, and that Work Track members have used both terms to describe items in the list that follows.</span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><u></u><u></u></span></li></ul>
