This second topic concerns incorporating both comments and replies into the Public Comment Forum. Status colour red title INACTIVE Background: Public Comment solicitations normally run for a specified period (e.g., 21 or 30 days) and, unless extended, are immediately closed to further community input. It is not infrequent that some contributors wait until the last day before submitting their comments. As a result, it is not possible, practically, to react or respond to previously submitted input, especially if they are posted on or shortly before the ending date/time.
