Re: Export Controls recommendations Kacey Strickland 20 May 2005 08:18 EST
Mississippi State University is certainly drafting a response. Also, COGR published a 10 page "Points for Consideration on Commerce Inspector General Report" which states, "COGR is encouraging a wide response from member universities." This COGR document will give you a lot of good ideas to consider when drafting your response. Kacey Strickland, CRA Mississippi State University Sponsored Programs Administration 133 Etheredge P.O.

Just checking with colleagues to see if comments are being submitted by your institution on this. Also, is anyone aware if COGR or other professional organizations are coordinating responses? Thanks!
