Please follow these instructions for preparing and submitting your review of the Draft Guidelines for Producing CCSP Synthesis and Assessment Reports [PDF]. A sample format sheet is provided below. Send your comments as an e-mail attachment to by 7 May 2004.

In making comments:

  • Provide complete contact information should we need to seek clarification.
  • Separate "general" comments from "specific" comments, and collate comments by page number and line number, as per the sample format below. Insert your name and affiliation after each comment.
  • Provide specific language for deletions / additions / amendments.
  • Avoid auto-formatting and do not embed comments in tables.
  • Do not number your comments and avoid using terminology such as "ditto" or "see above", since your comments will be collated by page and line number into a larger set -- rendering such references difficult to understand.
