Please provide feedback if the proposed approach of inactivation of existing high-level nodes and replacement with explicitly defined alternatives is acceptable. If the proposed high-level node replacements [Appendix A] are inadequate, and the existing grouping nodes have been used to identify a class of concepts of a different meaning, please provide evidence of any scenarios where other alternative upper-level ‘grouper’ nodes are necessary.

Comments may be made directly on this topic. The described policy will be authored during the remaining part of 2025, for release in January 2026. If additional requirements of essential upper-level groupers in this domain are identified after this date, they can be submitted using the existing request mechanism.
