Our commitment on every comment

Every comment is counted. Each one receives a number the moment it is filed, and the numbers are sequential in our record; nothing can be dropped without leaving a gap.
Every comment is read by the working group, not screened by staff or software, and answered in writing in the version 1.0 comment record, by number.
Every comment is incorporated or explained. Where we adopt a change we say so and credit the comment. Where we do not, we say why. No comment is left behind.
Your receipt is the proof. It carries the number, the time and a digest of your exact words, so you can hold us to this.
