Hi all,

The deadline for comments for this paper will be end of the day, Friday March 14 and we will announce the date for an approval meeting soon.

As we wrote in our publication policy, "It is expected that substantial comments regarding e.g.
the physics message, analysis methods, or selected journal will be raised in the first circulation
period. Comments should be provided to the PPG separated into two categories corresponding
to Type I and Type II comments."

Generally Type I comments are substantial and Type II comments are more editorial in nature and you can of course find the full text of the Publication Policy on the PubBoard wiki:

It's great to see this first paper circulating and we look forward to many more!

Best,

Anne
