§3Disposition and amendments
§3.1Disposition table
Table 1. Every submission with its disposition. Each row links to the submission in full.
| Reference | Respondent | Point raised | Disposition |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRAFT-DISCONTINUED/003 | Dr Liesbeth Delacroix-Njoku | The conclusion is stated more strongly than the certainty rating supports | Accepted |
| DRAFT-DISCONTINUED/001 | Dr Quintus Rautavaara | The review question is drawn too broadly to be answerable | Not accepted |
| DRAFT-DISCONTINUED/002 | Dr Gervase Crickhowell | A sortable table implies a comparison the underlying data do not support | Noted, no amendment |
| 3 submissions in total. | |||
§3.2Summary by disposition
Table 2. Counts by disposition, with the meaning of each.
| Disposition | Count | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Accepted | 1 | The submission is accepted and the draft is amended as proposed. The amendment is recorded in the amendment log of the document it changed and is traceable to the numbered submission. |
| Accepted in part | 0 | Part of the submission is accepted and part is not. The secretariat response states which part is which and on what ground the remainder was declined. |
| Noted, no amendment | 1 | The submission raises a point the Institute accepts but that does not require a change to the draft, most often because the draft already states it elsewhere. The location is given in the response. |
| Not accepted | 1 | The submission is not accepted. The secretariat response gives the reason. A submission that is not accepted remains published in full; the Institute does not remove a submission because it disagrees with it. |
§3.3Resulting amendments
- The conclusion is stated more strongly than the certainty rating supports — arising from DRAFT-DISCONTINUED/003. Conclusion wording is now drawn from a fixed set of formulations tied to the certainty rating, so that a low certainty rating produces a statement that the evidence may suggest an effect and that the estimate is likely to change with further research.
