Review & Revision Meeting Schedule Changes

The meeting schedule for the series of weekly meetings for people to review and revise the draft DDRA -- section-by-section -- is changing. Several topics are being added that have come up in community comments and in discussion at Review & Revision Meetings. Also, to permit more time for community comment and research on the topics of access to the court and grievances, those topics are moving to the end of the meeting series.

All are welcome to come to some or all meetings!

The full meeting schedule is below. You can print and download a PDF of it here:
