Submitting Feedback

Once you open the feedback form, you must submit your feedback before going to another webpage. If you open another webpage without selecting the “Send” button, your feedback will not be submitted, and your draft will not be saved.
Once you have submitted feedback, a “Thank you” message will display on the screen. This confirms your feedback submission. You cannot view or edit feedback once submitted. If you need to reference your feedback later, consider saving them separately.
Important Information for Writing Feedback
Please help us process your feedback by following these tips:
You may copy/paste text into the feedback field from the draft Module or from other documents.
Please ensure all your feedback is related to the Sub-section that you chose on the form. If you have feedback on multiple Sub-sections, please use multiple feedback forms. This helps us tie your feedback back to the correct policy section and sub-section.
Identify the group you represent because this helps us understand and process your feedback.
The character limit for the feedback form is 32,767 characters.
Be sure to select “Send” on the feedback form before navigating to a new page. Otherwise, your feedback draft will be lost.
