As a reminder, I am here to help in whatever way you need.  Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me, or to Bob if you have questions or need our support.  The entire task force will be meeting next on Wednesday, July 27^th from 2-4pm MT/1-3pm PT.  Bob requested yesterday that the small groups provide a report to the task force during our next call to include thoughts on high level principles/concepts the groups are working on.  We have also targeted September 22^nd to be an in-person meeting for the purpose of having the small groups present their proposals/recommendations to the task force.

As a final note, I have attached the meeting materials from yesterday’s call as a reminder of some of the concepts we discussed yesterday.  I will be preparing a summary of yesterday’s meeting and will distribute this when it’s done.

I wish you all a happy and safe 4^th of July!
