Wow, that's finally it. I count 14 new names, 07 new devices, 06 new badges, 02 device resubmissions and 01 name resubmission.
The forms are in process and will be available soon. Please start using them as soon as you receive them, (I know you will because of how many of the 'old' new forms I have received). If the documentation on names seems light, this is exactly what I get. Most of it I can supplement, but it helps if at least a dated citation is used. Let me know how you like/dislike this format. I need comments by June 20th so they may go to Laurel by the end of the month.
In Service,
