This, we think, is a progressive path to constructive public participation as it avoids the general good/bad dichotomy while giving the drafters much more insight into which parts of the Bill need revision. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">After the public participation window closes, we send ALL input as received to the drafters for their consideration. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I hope you will use Jadili and if you have any suggestions to improve on it, that will be greatly appreciated. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Find the Bill here: <a href="http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kfcb2016" class="">http://jadili.ictpolicy.org/docs/kfcb2016</a> </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">~~~</div></div><div class="">
