Dear Colleagues:

Please sign on to a letter relating to Assignment Center.  Assignments are currently under review at OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act; this letter notes that Assignment Center makes several things more difficult, and the PTO should book that additional burden.  I got a number of suggestions -- typos, toning down a few poitns to criticize the software and the processes, not the people, and adding two new points at pages 17-18.  Also, the signup list got corrupted sometime between 4PM and 6PM (eastern) yesterday--I was able to recover some of the lost data, but perhaps not all.

The updated letter is here:    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DjrbQfxelCNTwQaIbsGNZAuw4ubBdDk5/view?usp=sharing

The signon spreadsheet is here:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19cwBrFxvKmCpf9eWPfY_iQ6yHtj6flcsJz8iQdqXoQ8/edit?usp=sharing

Deadline is October 3 (Thursday).   I will close comments sometime Thursday afternoon.

 

I welcome comments.  (Your help is more important this time than usual—I don’t use Assignment Center extensively, so I am dependent on you to fact-check me.)  If you have enough comments that a Word doc would be helpful (it’s a lot easier for me if you give me comments in Track Changes), please let me know.

Dear Colleagues:

Please sign on to a letter relating to Assignment Center.  This is one of the times when there's power in numbers--your voice matters.  Please pass this on within your firm.

Assignments are currently under review at OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act; this letter notes that Assignment Center makes several things more difficult, and the PTO should book that additional burden.  In the last 24 hours, I got several new anecdotes, see pages 15, 17-18, and 20-21.  Consider the letter frozen--let me know if you spot typos (or substantive errors!) or if there's a wording that's just too harsh, but no more anecdotes.

Deadline is October 3 (Thursday).   I will close comments Thursday at 3PM.
