Dear Providers Sub Team members,

Please note that per item 2a below, a meeting will be scheduled on 13 June at 12:00 UTC for 90 minutes for the URS Providers Sub Team to review the Provider survey results, as well as the research of Prof. Tushnet.  

With respect to the first task, staff will send the survey results to the Sub Team on 11 or 12 June after compiling the responses from the three Providers.

With respect to the second task, as Prof. Tushnet has very limited availability on 13 June, staff thought it may be more efficient if she could provide written input to the seven (7) questions sent to the Providers (please see attachment). Through staff’s initial review of the data, we identified these questions that may be answered or partially answered by Prof. Tushnet’s research. Staff have communicated to Prof. Tushnet our view that the Sub Team would likely need relevant data from her research that may provide insight into these questions. If she could provide her written input, staff will circulate it to the Sub Team, and the Sub Team could spend some time during the meeting on 13 June to review, in conjunction with the survey results.

Kind regards,

Mary, Julie, Ariel, and Berry
