2. Justify changing Public Version 1.0, stating why the proposed text is superior to the provisions of Public Version 1.0.

COMMENT EXAMPLE
Comment #: (to be filled in by ICC)
Section: 102.1.2
Commenter: John Q. Public, P.E, Acme Green Buildings, representing himself
Revise as follows:
102.1.2 Innovative Approaches. It is intended that The provisions of this code are intended to provide flexibility to allow and encourage the use of innovative approaches, techniques and technology to achieve compliance with the intent of the code.
Reason: An editorial rearrangement of the sentence structure to clarify that while “flexibility” is indeed an important attribute of the IGCC, it need not be stated as a code requirement. The entire section addresses the flexible nature of the code by virtue of the innovative approaches being encouraged in this section.
