• The proposal is to "retire" these codes in the Codes Registry. (Luis) ET-WTR is discussing how to respond. The fast-track proposal can have an explanation referring to Resolution 1 on the Unified Data Policy

• add overview description in the FT document to include overview of code management and who has been consulted
