To increase practitioner and educator relevance we are considering broadening the types of submissions, and the submissions review process, by adding two new submission categories as described below. These are in draft form, and a number of practical issues need to be worked out to bring them to fruition, but hopefully are helpful in articulating steps to be taken.) Report
