Hi Paul,

Thank you for your reply.  We look forward to working with you to get these 
documents moving through the publication process!

I’ve made sure to update the CC field to include the AUTH48 archive and Roman 
as AD (and removed Deb Cooley per her separate reply).

Please feel free to reach out with any questions/concerns as necessary.

Thank you.
