Re: EOWG - Understanding Docs Review Team

Hi Brent,

Thank you for this clear outline of expectations. I was speaking with John
Rochford earlier his week and he let me know that he and Jeanne Spellman
are rewriting the new Understand docs in plain language. It makes sense for
me for all of us to get in sync so we do not duplicate effort.

Jeanne and John for your information, Norah Sinclair (copied here) is
leading a small group from EO to review and recommend edits to the
Understanding docs. They are working through GitHub and we would be happy
for you to join the next group call (see schedule below.)

Cheers all,
Sharron
