The comments associated with remaining disapproves are included in slide 11 of this deck.
No new DISAPPROVE comments were received; there are no new unsatisfied comments.
The numbers of unsatisfied comments have reduced slightly since R1 of this submission due to feedback from commenters on which comments they consider to be satisfied or unsatisfied, or due to previous “no” voters changing their votes. In addition, one voter changed from “Disapprove” to “Approve” after the ballot closed.
No votes have been ruled invalid.
