Although we have a few recommendations from the initial report and some back up for those, we really want to encourage discussion on developing more specific recommendations. Yes, we all know that there is wide dissatisfaction on the way it was handled before, but without concrete recommendations from the community, we will not be able to do better this next time around.<br><br>Thanks!</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Reminder: Materials for tomorrow’s call can be found at: </span><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/11mtncTwPLPx6vpbunACToRZy1vWyls-MxVAb3wqEYsk/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/document/d/11mtncTwPLPx6vpbunACToRZy1vWyls-MxVAb3wqEYsk/edit?usp=sharing</a>.
