- Be specific. Describe as best as you can what the situation is, over what period of time, who is involved and why this is important for the public to know.
- Help us track it. Tell us what documents exist -- letters, e-mails or text messages -- that help explain what is going on, and who has possession of them. Tell us who we should be talking to and why.
- Keep the communication lines open. We recognize the desire for anonymity, but we also would like to have a way to contact you to help guide us. Consider allowing us to e-mail or call you.
