This page is meant for collecting feedback about the above draft legal rules for European SDI participants, to be submitted through the FOSS SDIC. We can only send one spreadsheet document on behalf of the SDIC, so either please provide text or a link here if you want your comments to be included.
When adding commentary please mark your contributions with Article or Annex number (e.g. 8.2.3) and paragraph number if necessary, that would help a lot.

- Response to INSPIRE Network Services Architecture (this document is referenced in this IR and is short so is worth reading first.)

extra comments in spreadsheets:| Clause/ Subclause | Paragraph/ Figure/ Table | Type comment | Comment | Proposed change |
| 6, Protocol bindings | para 1 | G | "One of the requirements specified in the D3.5 Network Services Architecture document is the use of SOAP bindings for all INSPIRE services." This is incorrect. D3.5 does not mandate SOAP, simply offers arguments in its favour and solicits reports and comments from the spatial data user community. | Change "one of the requirements specified" to a less definite wording, or omit this section until the Architecture is actually complete. |
