Re: mportant: Standards Harmonization requires update

Hi Judy,

One other thing that I would like to mention is a request to add a third
bullet to your update plan in your email. One of our goals is to condense
down the amount of content in a lot of our resources when possible.
Sometimes may not be possible. If you could add a third bullet to "
'Tersify' resource content where possible," that would be great!

Thanks for giving this your attention. We will check in on it again in
mid-September just to be sure it is not forgotten.
