Re: Selecting evaluation tools - Final (?) version

Hi Shadi,

Sorry to step in. Just a couple of things here.

On each comment that you provide, can you let Nic and Laura know if they
are for Editor's Discretion (meaning they can analyse what you are saying
and choose to implement, not implement, or find a middle ground in their
own opinion and move on), or if they are Strong (meaning that you are
expecting a change and would like to have them check back with you to be
sure it addresses the concern you have).

Second, on each comment, can you suggest specifically what should/could be
used in the place of what you are not particularly fond of. this will help
them implement the change more clearly in the direction you were hoping it
would go and also takes less work for them. This may in fact be the reason
you are suggesting a pull-request because it is easier for you to provide
the content that you are hoping to be implemented.

I know you know all of these strategies as you have taught them to me and
other EO people over and over again.  :)
I really think they would help Nic and Laura get this document into final
draft for review sooner.

Thank you for providing the feedback.

Nic and Laura, thank you for seeing this through. Almost there.
