Perhaps I did not make myself clear. The point being made was that "there is nothing remotely unusual about QQ issueing a draft report for comment" I think there is. Of all the QQ reports that I have obtain, only one has been issued as a draft for comment, and that is the Oct 2007 report.
So in answer to your question, I have to reply no. Of course there have been several high profile Nimrod reports, such as the 2006 report mentioned by Nigegil, the combustion analysis report, several seal reports, a report on zonal analysis etc. None of these indicate that they have been issued in draft form for comment.
