       @sldrant A concise, true, polite, honest, evidence-based response is best unless you have the resources to construct a full policy statement as Apple did. I believe they will read and consider all responses from the entities listed in the request for a response ("organisations whose services could be affected; public authorities; ; professional bodies; interest groups; academia; the wider public.")
