<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">On behalf of Martin and Roger, the Sub Team Co-Chairs, we thank you for your thoughtful and detailed comments on this discussion thread. We encourage the whole Sub Team to continue discussion of the open threads
(Q2, Q4 and Q5). The plan is to discuss respective thread comments the next meeting after a Discussion Thread is closed </span><span style="color:black">(i.e. Q4 at the May 29<sup>th</sup> meeting (to start the discussion) but with the thread closing on 29
May (extended)), </span><span style="color:black">and Q2/Q5 at the June 5<sup>th</sup> meeting after those threads close on 29 May). Once the Sub Team has discussed all thread input/comments during this subsequent meeting, the respective proposed answers to
charter questions and preliminary recommendations will be updated based on the Sub Team discussion and sent to the Sub Team for review. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">As mentioned in the emails and during meetings, staff formulated the proposed answers and preliminary recommendations based on the transcripts and chats for the meetings during which the Sub Team discussed the
agreed charter questions and related individual proposals. To the extent that there may be gaps, we are grateful if someone</span><span style="color:red"> </span><span style="color:black">could point us to where in the meeting transcripts and chat records

<p>Dear Roger and Martin,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I am writing to provide input on TM Question #4. I believe this recommendation write-up may have been posted for the first time on Friday.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I write because I am a bit dismayed. I feel only part of the discussion has been captured, and a good part of it left out. I know it is hard to capture everything, but Rebecca and I feel that, although we were very much present and active on the call and
working with the Subteam in these discussions, very little of our input was captured, especially on this very important question.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>To that end, she and I submit a redline with edits and additions which we ask you to review and include -- to ensure the WG and all reviewing this important document catch the full flavor of our discussions and the current status of our division over any
recommendations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The file is attached so that the edits, via Track Changes, will be clearly visible.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best regards and tx, Kathy<o:p></o:p></p>
