Insert "the" here and below.
If I was doing "stylistic" edits I'd suggest s/part/side/, but that's
getting too close to changing the content for my liking.

FK's right, extra comma here and preferably another at the end of each
quote, to match this one:
> <q>I'd like to thank all the people who participated in the drafting process
> proposing changes and fixes, explaining different points of view and
> approving this initiative</q>, Francesca added.

(There's quite a bit of diversity of opinion on this one! Most en_US
stylesheets would put the comma inside the quotes, but I'm siding with
"http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/writing-style.html")
[...]

I'd have suggested a semicolon (or even a comma) there, but a colon
would definitely be valid if the sentence started "it doesn't matter
how...", so I'll stop worrying about it.
