Important Information
During the comment process you are connected to a database. Like internet banking, the session that connects you to the database may time-out due to inactivity or if you close your browser or go to a different tab/window and try to come back.
To ensure that your comments are received:
-
DO NOT jump between web pages/applications while logging comments.
-
DO NOT log comments for more than one document at a time.
-
DO NOT leave your submission unfinished. If you need to take a break, submit your current set of comments now and return later to make a further submission. You will receive a copy of your comments so that you can see what you have already said.
-
DO NOT exit from the interface until you have completed all three steps of the submission process. Simply saving a comment in the comment box does not mean it is submitted and if you exit the system, you will not be able to retrieve it later.
When you finalise your submission in step 3 your comments will be emailed to the Document Author with a copy to you, and to policy@mq.edu.au for record keeping purposes.
