[bestbits] [call for feedback] visual timeline on IG processes

[Deborah Brown]

Hi Anriette, all,

We had initially set Monday, 30 Sept as the cut off point for comments, but
we've extended it a bit. If you could send any additional feedback by
Wednesday, 2 October, by the end of the day wherever you are, it would be
much appreciated. Please feel free to reply onlist or offlist to any of the
contacts listed below.

And thanks so much to those who have sent feedback already. We are working
on incorporating all feedback into an improved version of the visualization.

Best,
Deborah
