Hi James, and Sarmad<br><br>Thank you both for this contribution, which I think captures the discussion we had this morning. I propose to take Sarmad's amended version for insertion into the public comment document, unless I hear any contrary views by 0800 UTC tomorrow (Thursday). We can then publish the Call for Public Comment, which would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>Well done everyone.<br><br>Kind regards<br><br>Emily<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 2, 2011 at 9:55 AM, Dr. Sarmad Hussain <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sarmad@cantab.net">sarmad@cantab.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

overall meaning.</span></p>
