SLH: If there is a formal document in English, we want that. If not, we would welcome the person to translate the title. I'll think if there is a simple way to communicate that.

SLH: For people like you who are committing time to do thorough updates for a country, yes that information is important. A different use case for this page is people who want to quickly give us a single update, for example, when a new regulation is in place in their country. We don't want to require them to read a long page of detailed instructions. Does that make sense?

SLH: When you click on them, they populate the e-mail message subject and body. The two options implement line breaks differently. I'm not sure how different e-mail clients will handle them. Based on an e-mail from Andrew, I might add another option as well for HTML e-mail.

Thanks,
Shawn
