> Per our teleconference, here are my suggestions:
>
> 1. Have the figures professionally drafted since they are currently very
> uneven in quality and readability and they usually are what gives
reviewers
> the most lasting impressions.
>
> 2. Fix the gaps in the Appendices (E and F are blank and C has "B"
labeling
> and several gaps - parts C.2 and C.4). It looks like maybe Section 3.6.2
is
> for Appendix E.

> 3. There are some Figure numbering problems in the main body which I fixed
> in my repurposed version so I could keep it straight myself.

process

> 1. The serious disconnect between the specification and the management
> strategy (e.g. how do you get from where we are now to "What is required
of
> agencies?" as was raised in the call today and how do we answer those
> questions.) This is, of course, the role of the Implementation chapter,
but
> the ultimate role of OMB/FEA-PMO to decide how to use the DRM in the FEA
and
> Budget process. I agree with Mike's quote in GCN that the role of

and
> what should be optional, but that is still the ultimate decisions of the
