Understood.

We tried to take most of the language from the contribution we sent
for prepcom 3, but I expect new issues have probably slipped in.

Will make sure it is clear that I say something along the lines of
"these statements offer a sense of civil society's opinion on the
issues but are not presented as consensus"?  I'll think about it and
soften things.

Thanks for bringing this up.  We should talk about your (everyone's)
specific concerns.
