2021 Deferred Harvest Methodology Section: No Section Indicated

Comment: Several times "experts" and "expert panels" are referenced. These panels and their recommendations need to be shared.

Proposed Change: Share the recommendations of the "expert panels" and how NCX responded

NCX response: We appreciate comments noting that the structure and performance of the baseline model used within this methodology is strongly influential on the predicted and realized climate impact of projects. Our revised methodology increases transparency rather than following an expert review process. This includes both detailed documentation of particular models used, as well as sharing benchmarking and performance information for baseline models. Finally, the revised approach to uncertainty explicitly accounts for imprecision in the baseline model in calculating the final number of credits generated from projects developed under this methodology.
