ASC noted that the Convener considered that the responses to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16 and 17 had been given full and appropriate consideration. The ASC reviewers considered that, generally, the responses were very good. An update was requested for the following Recommendations to the October meeting of ASC:
