<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Heather,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for your input. In response to your question, the intent of the blog was to highlight opportunities for the community to participate. This is part of MSSI’s strategy to simplify and focus our communications on actionable and
relevant activities regarding reviews. Given the current state of SSR2, there was nothing new to report nor any actions for the community to take. While the purpose of the blog is to draw people’s attention to time-sensitive and actionable items to highlight
opportunities for community participation, we appreciate that it would be useful to include a quick status update for all other reviews, as well. Moving forward we will include a status update for each review along with opportunities to participate.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for alerting us to this update. I will not take credit for being the first to notice this, but I believe it's an important question to raise. Does staff know by chance the reason why SSR2's current pause status is not anywhere
mentioned in this "what's new" update? Surely the unprecedented intervention into a review team deserves a mention to present an accurate picture?<o:p></o:p></p>

This month “What’s New with Reviews” highlights opportunities for community input to the Competition, Consumer Choice, and Consumer Trust (CCT) Review Team, the development of Review Operating Standards, and also a community survey for the Root Server System
