 PK> You are doing it again, you are suggesting that only a PART

   The RCs certainly consider the entire document.   However, since
   nothing is proposed to change anything in sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
   or 9 -- then why should we put all of those sections in a message
   every time we publish the proposed change?   What is being put into
   messages makes it very clear what the complete policy document will
   be.   You are given explicit instructions on what sections to take
   out and what to replace them with.  With five minutes work, anyone
   can make a new complete document without our having to transmit the
   entire 1700+ lines each time.

 PK> It relates back to the requirement that an ENTIRE document 
 PK> is considered, not just a part...
 
   And you have the means to do exactly that.
