After the selection, the list will be made public and then the community will be able to make comments. In anticipation of this, a public dispute resolution process will be made available.

The publish application stage will last between 6 to 8 weeks and during that time, the public can give their opinions on both the nodes that have been selected and the process of selection. This is to allow Elixxir properly gauge public response to the process and make any necessary adjustments.
