If you come across documents that are outdated, hard to follow, or incorrect, please let her know via email." [2] I wanted to make sure this isn?t lost among the other items. The idea isn't for her to personally fix the documents. Rather, she'll be able to raise awareness among MSC and other stakeholders, so we can determine levels of urgency and assign editing tasks to the appropriate domain experts. Cecilia's involvement is deeply appreciated. Please let me know if you have questions.
