(1) Two keywords added and will be worked into the analysis: cyber reconnaissance (as defined in T2) and critical infrastructure (as defined in T2 and referred to in the 2015 GGE)

(2) cyber-enabled incidents or incidents in cyberspace

(3) Important to explain the distinction between fake news and real news for the purposes of the scenarios. Not a legal issue, but important for clarity. The one offered may not be perfect.

(4)The changes to the line: "A large batch of private emails purportedly exchanged only among members of a candidate’s campaign team is leaked onto a well-known, publicly-accessible internet site" clarifies for readers what is later picked up on in the analysis, ie these are in-house, closed-circuit, private emails that have been outed. The word trove, I think, should be switched by batch.

(5)Is the intent candidate's or candidates'? The introduction uses the plural, have so corrected.

(6)"the accuracy and trustworthiness of results in the public opinion are thus placed in doubt." - Not clear if the intent is the election results as they are being published (on an ongoing basis?) by the commission, the final tallies, or only the non-binding opinion polls. Or all three. The task of the commission needs to be clarified, as it goes to the legal analysis: does the commission tally results, organize the election committees, make public announcements? Worth specifying for the analysis below. Also, is the next part of the scenario (the false election results) a result of infiltration of the same commission website or a different one?
