  This is inadequate as you know as it is a form of censorship and cannot
lead to openness and transparency.  Hence this is a really very amateurish
excuse, Marilyn.  Please stop such circular nonsensical retorts...

  Authorization?  Who is the individual that needs to authorize such, and why
is it that comments that are being requested, posted to the above and documented
E-mail address, required "Permission" to be posted there?  Pretty dam odd
Marilyn...  :(  Also bad manners as well as purposefully misleading...

  Yes as was John Berryhill's comments which were purposefully not in the
Archives even though they were posted to comments-whois@dnso.org.
In addition these very comments as the preceding post on this thread,
are indeed about the substance of the Interim Report, although indirectly...

Vittorio's comments were on the Final Report on the Survey Results. It appears that you have the two confused. The Interim Report was just published adn is open for comment for just over three weeks.

Please address your input to the comment site so that the TF, and other interested parties are able to benefit from your review and comments. I am sure that the TF will find your comments, after you read the Interim Report, of interest.
