  • DKT22 reorganization of "Informing Users" section. Does it make sense?
  • DKT29-30 granularity vs precision -- are both needed?
  • DKT38-39 "syncing" data and "pairing" of devices: should they be within the same section?

  • DKT50 revisit "Conditions and Agreements" and how it differs from "Informing Consumers/Users"
