Having expressed my concerns, I will be going ahead and submitting a response. Stating my personal background of learning and - I hope - adding a flag that they are thought through rather more deeply than most. But not claiming to be representing the full view of any organisation. And it is worth submitting to at least indicate an appreciation that at least some views have been sought, and that I want to contribute. It has also been very helpful to me personally to be thinking about these things as the wider picture moves forward.
Well - I have responded.
Cheekily added a "please ask me if you want further expansion of this idea" and included my contact details should they wish to do so. I doubt they will ...
Your name and email address are important to help ensure that all responses to the consultation are unique. They will not be used for any other purpose.
which perhaps reads as "thank you for you inputs. We have consulted you and are not further interested in anything you may have suggested".
Why no "may we contact you to follow up on your comments if we would like clarification or to take them further"?
