Colleagues, Here is the draft comment that the strategic planning working group has developed. We will review this during our meeting tomorrow morning. Judy Mortrude will join us for that part of the meeting, and Jeff Carter will be joining us as well. Catrina and Amanda, I've meddled with the text some, so I'm copying you on this message just so you can see what I've done (you don't need to participate in tomorrow's board meeting). Can either of you (or you, Judy) provide a cite for the Rhode Island outcomes? And Amanda, do you think it's okay to cite that Census report as I have? Background for those who (like me) need a refresher: We are drafting this in response to the Commerce Dep't request for public comment (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/06/08/2018-12365/proposed-information-collection-comment-request-2020-census). It is due by August 7.
