[gnso-iocrc-dt] RE: Explanation of the Dates in the Public Comment Forum

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the quick reply Margie.  I was aware of the policy but missed the 
discussion of that on the Friday call.  I think it would have been helpful 
after the call for you and Jeff to discuss this just to confirm that both of 
you were on the same page; I think that is good practice and we can look at 
this as a lesson learned.
