Y'all, Below is the text of the e-mail UNOS sent out this a.m. The proposed policies from the Living Donor Committtee [& thus likely to be of more interest to LDOers] are #s: 8, 9, 10, 21, 22, 31, 42, 43, 50, 51, and 61. Bill
This document contains fourteen policy proposals being offered for public comment. These proposals were developed by OPTN/UNOS committees. When the public comment period ends on
December 23, 2011, each sponsoring committee will review the feedback they receive and consider modifications to the original proposals. The OPTN/UNOS Board of Directors may then review and vote on these proposals at its meeting on June 25-26, 2012.
We welcome your feedback on this policy proposal and other aspects of the public comment process as we continue to improve the way that we communicate with the community.
Please note that all exhibits and appendices to these proposals can be found on the OPTN website via the link below.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO ALL PUBLIC COMMENT USERS RECEIVING PUBLIC COMMENT MAILINGS:
Effective immediately, we are phasing out printed copies of the public comment document. This will help us greatly reduce our costs and improve the way the OPTN operates. If you are not affiliated with a UNOS member organization or if you do not have access to e-mail, we will continue to mail you a printed copy of the document. All members, however, will need to access the public comment document on the OPTN website. If you have questions about how to access the online document or are uncertain how to submit your feedback, call us at (804) 782-4813.
