In reaching its determinations, the ICCC considered the submissions and comments received from stakeholders throughout the review process. The ICCC acknowledges and thanks all stakeholders who provided feedback and contributed to the review.

The ICCC intends to release the Final Regulatory Contract by 30^th November 2026, ahead of its commencement on 1^st January 2027.
