Could you consider extending the comment period and, if granted, make sure the extension is communicated publicly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for your time and attention,<br><strong>David Wood<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Attachment: e50354d7-ca0a-4bec-9404-a8e1ffad8d11.jpg<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>2.
