Please ensure that you submit any requests for change by no later than Wednesday 31 December 2014 in order to allow these to be considered as part of the version 13 development cycle; and note that any major changes you propose are likely to be deferred to version 14 for which we intend to carry out a comprehensive review of the Toolkit.

Please note: This request for feedback relates to only amendments to the Requirements or Knowledge Base Resources. It does NOT include functional / technical improvements or enhancements to the IG Toolkit website.
