[PC-NCSG] URGENT: Pending NCSG Statements

As I have said many times since retirement, there are only two things I miss about working in govt, the cheque and my administrative assistant.  I find it hard to keep up with the workload....I think it would help klutzes like me (and it would appear I am in good company here) to have a dashboard of some kind running....
Comments due:  ddmmyy		OUr brief due:     	REsponses due:                Silence=consent
Principal readers:  Joe Smith and Mary Jones
I never go to confluence between calls, but if someone tells me that is how to keep up with this I am willing to try....the email flood I am trying to digest at the moment is simply over the top, way over my capacity to keep up. 
But it is very clear that this organization relies on the written word, and if we dont get comments in, we are irrelevant.  Nobody cares what we say at the meetings...it is what goes into the documents and contracts that counts.  I am in the midst of poring through institutional ethnography techniques, and it appears this has been well studied.  So we have only ourselves to blame if we are not on top of it.....forget just getting the briefs in, we need to do analysis of how staff are tossing aside our comments in their summaries.  We dont appear to be there yet...unless somebody can point to something that is absolutely brilliant and will cheer me up on this score....
cheers steph
