Dear Colleagues, Thank you all for your comments and suggested edits! Unfortunately, I've been tied up with other time sensitive stuff but will get back to this as soon as I can. In the meantime if you're able to input suggested your edits and comments into the google this will hopefully expedite our drafting process!: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ewSMGl1bnh-umD86pT0x_2-EvaZUHbe1/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=116465941111195452408&rtpof=true&sd=true Best, Ron
