Question 1-Configuration

Question 1: How should the Forum be configured?

Part A:

a) to permit only a single static reply cycle (15 days) at the end of the original 30-day comment period; or

b) dynamically so that comments and replies are interspersed (threaded) throughout the open period? In this option, would it be helpful to add a short reply cycle (length?) so that there is an opportunity to respond to posts made in the waning days of the original comment period?

Part B:

In either case above, if there are no comments received after the initial 30-day period, should there still be a 15-day reply cycle or should it be cancelled if there are no comments registered?

Part C:

If you do not agree with the proposed cycle lengths, i.e., minimum 30 days followed by minimum of 15 days, please provide the lengths you think would be more appropriate.
