Dear Maureen:

Many thanks for this. Actually, when I took the course those were precisely
my conrm=cerns. I believe that the proposal @Glenn McKnight
<mcknight.glenn at gmail.com> proposed last FY was seeking that goal. But, for
some reason, the message did not seem to get across.

@Joanna <joannakulesza at gmail.com> this can be another course that can be
developed under the "Policy Platform Concept".

Hope everyone is safe and well.

Kind Regards,
