In this case their response is valid and allows for the groups creating it to provide more details which is important for us to query any issues of diversity. We agreed that we wanted groups to respond and so the responses of the GNSO and the groups within are valid since some have demonstrated more ability than others in facilitating diversity.

32 was rejected on the grounds that it was too broad.
