I think both of you are right by 50% at per; yes there is a mention on how
the consultation will run but there is no clear timeline stated neither is
their clear process to engaging the public (non-component interests). For
instance, I hope you agree that the draft charter is indeed not final and
still in discussion, what's the timeline and channel of communication to
getting a final charter?

Maybe not testing for me, but timeline does not explicitly indicate the
need to have phases of public comments. In summary it says:
- proposals received from the 3 components compiled to form single document
- single document published for public comment
- ICG produce final and submits

There is a phase missing between final and submission; ICG should produce
draft2 so it can be observed if it indeed reflects/address the concern of
the wider community.
