I respectfully disagree, Anne. The first of your suggested versions seems unnecessarily wordy and cumbersome while the second reflects the original language that we were trying to clarify (the language that led some of us to think that "appropriate" was mistakenly being used instead of "appropriately"). But I hung up my writing-instructor hat years ago and don't wish to get back into diagramming sentences if I can help it. :) I suggest we simply see whether other group members and commenters on the draft have a problem understanding the sentence as it is currently worded.
