Hi Chris,

Thank you for your kind consideration and guidance. Please see a small 
clarification inline:

Just for clarity, I did not intend to ask for a flawless draft. My 
request was just that the flaws -- which seem to have been acknowledged 
by some of the authors -- be represented clearly in the draft, so that 
policy makers and implementers can make well-informed choices.

Thank you.

Best regards,

-Usama
