I think it's hard to express this on a slide intended to be projected
in front of a big room.  Ross's approach of simply referring to the
report is an alternative that works in the format.

Regardless of what's projected, I would imagine that whoever was
giving the presentation would spend a few moments here to express
something along the lines of the language we agreed to for the report
on our last call to discuss the public comments received.  I think
that represents the situation pretty fairly--I'm just not sure we can
distill it into a few easy words that are going to be suitable to the
PowerPoint format.
