Comment :  I-D.1.1 bullet 3

" … different systems produced by different vendors."

Comment:

I-Appendix D.1.1 bullet 3 seeks to require jurisdictions to purchase devices from multiple vendors.  This would not need to happen to produce the desired results, requiring a second system of different design would provide it.  Additionally, the multiple vendor requirement is costly.

Recommended Change:

"… separate systems of different design."
