Hey everyone...<div><br></div><div>We (NM Technology Council) are definitely glad to help, but I agree with Gary here - finding the platform, making it relatively easy to submit useful info, including some feedback loops to encourage stakeholders to participate and keep it all current... are all necessary pieces.</div>

<div><br></div><div>I know I'm planning to attend the Broadband Summit Friday and think this is a good piece to suggest and implement.  Anyone else interested in this topic who plans to attend/participate?</div><div>
