<span style="margin:0px;color:black">As we wrap up our initial discussions on the Gaining FOA and prepare to draft candidate recommendations on this topic, I want to remind all members how important it is to participate in the deliberations taking place right
now. <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);display:inline !important">
Since the Temp Spec was put in place in May 2018, the requirements of the Gaining FOA have been deferred but are technically still part of the current Transfer Policy. </span>We are discussing and leaning towards elimination (specifically the sharing of PII
data, the exact content of the Gaining FOA, and changing from an active response required to a passive notification) of the Gaining FOA, which is a significant change from the existing policy. If you have not already spoken up on this topic, now is the time.
Please coordinate with the groups you represent to get their input and attend the calls to weigh in. As a reminder:</span></p>
