Hi AsawariiJha,
Please use the survey link to share your feedback on the July call, including the topics covered, readiness guidance, and areas where additional clarity or support would be helpful. Survey Link.
The paragraph above about the survey references a call. Is there a video of the call this is referring to?
It also suggests we can share areas where additional clarity or support would be helpful. However, all the survey questions were multiple choice, how do we share feedback about areas where additional clarity or support would be helpful. Thoughts?
