the public comment forum to provide specific input on the issue at hand that will hopefully allow the EPDP Team in the next phase of its work to come to a common understanding. This approach has been applied, for example: on the question of whether the adding
of a standardized data element should be a requirement (vs a suggestion) and whether those that decide to differentiate must make use of such a standardized data element; whether such a standardized data element should be redacted in the public RDDS, and;
whether different terminology (best practices instead of guidance) should be used to refer to the current guidance . <o:p></o:p></span></p>
