All right, attached is my edited version of the CPRB brochure.  I'm pretty
sure it will reach Al, less sure it will reach everyone on the groogroo
CPRB list since I think the groogroo server strips file attachments.
Anyone who wants to see my revised version can e-mail me for it.

I went over and over and over it.  I changed the font sizes to make them
consistent and to make everything fit on two pages.  I changed the wording
throughout the document to reflect the fact that Champaign and Urbana
require SEPARATE citizen police review boards.  I changed the contact info
from the NAACP mailbox to our Prairie Green mailbox.  Etc., etc.

I did NOT recheck the literature of the three organizations I listed as
having done studies; I made the language general enough, I hope, to
incorporate any conclusions they may have come to, the gist of which I
recall from earlier research.

It would be nice to have a longer list of local supporters, and of cities
comparable in size to C-U that have CPRB's.  We also need more contact info
on the brochure, such as an e-mail address, a web site, and perhaps a phone
number.


Yesterday I e-mailed Al files containing our CPRB proposal and the list of
web sites pertinent to CPRB's.  I did NOT check the web sites to make sure
the links are still current; someone with high-speed internet should
probably do that before we post them on our own web site.

I have asked Jeff N-O if he would be so kind as to contact Catherine Hogue
about arranging a monthly meeting time at the NAACP offices.  Jeff and I
are also in the beginning stages of collaboration on an article about
CPRB's for the public i.  Jeff is going to write the rough draft as far as
I know, but I'm sure we'll be talking about it as we go along.  The
deadline for that is ostensibly Monday, August 11, which doesn't give us a
tremendous amount of time.

That's pretty much it from my end, I guess, and should bring you all up to
date.  If others of you are doing other things related to the CPRB
coalition, it would be nice to hear about them.
