This sounds awesome! Is the idea that policy comments would get regulators to: consider a new policy they weren’t previously considering; change their mind about a proposed policy; help back them up politically for something they already want to do; or a combination of these? I’m not sure which type of impact policy comments are best for.
I think it is most likely we will be backing up good policies that some regulators want. New policies are hard, and a lot of requests for comments come in a sort of binary way: “should we implement policy x.1 or x.2?”
