Edits and updates
by Kathy Kleiman 26 Oct '20

26 Oct '20

Hi All, Attached please find my proposed edits to the Background section of our report. We had a little more interaction with the EPDP report than noted -- and went past the summary wave table to the actual EPDP recommendations to determine that there was no conflict between them and our WG recommendations. I've proposed revisions to the background text to show this process with the steps involved. As a WG, we certainly did our due diligence on this important task! Best and have a good weekend,Kathy
