Thank you very much to the 50+ people who attended and participated in the VLTF virtual open meeting last week! Your comments, questions, and observations were interesting and helpful. Thank you, too, for your patience with the meeting technology; it was difficult to have a free-flowing but organized discussion using chat, but the virtual meeting did allow more people to participate.

Please continue the discussion here, and take advantage of the open comment period for the draft Standards (now through March31) by posting comments here or emailing [email protected].

Thank you again!
