Commenting guidelines

  • We’re seeking feedback on the underlying methods and practical application of specific indicators and whether the requirements they entail are achievable. General suggestions on narrowing down the topics are also welcome.
  • To help us understand your comments and place them in the right context, please provide detailed and clear reasoning for your feedback.
  • You are welcome to point out technical or content inaccuracies.
  • The specific weighting of individual criteria is not part of this feedback process. Weightings will be finalised when this version of the criteria set is ready for publication.
  • We kindly ask you to not submit comments that aim to promote personal or organisational interests. We do consider feedback on setting more modest goals, although there is little chance of such suggestions being implemented.
