[City of Austin letterhead] [Internal Address] RE: Application for Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission Dear [Mr./Ms – determined by gender field in data base] [Last name (will need to be parsed in Excel], Thank you for answering the call for applicants to the Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission. The Applicant Review Panel (ARP) has reviewed your application received [date from data base]. After the City Auditor reviewed the applications for minimum requirements, 450 applications remained to be reviewed by the ARP. We regret that you were not selected for the list of 60 applicants to be recommended to the City Council for the random drawing of Commission members. However, we did note your strong abilities and willingness to serve the City. Because you have much to offer as a volunteer and independent citizen, we urge you to stay involved in the process by attending Commission meetings or reviewing the status of the initiative on the web site at http://www.austintexas.gov/department/10‐one. Another option would be to visit the web site at http://www.austintexas.gov/department/boards‐and‐commissions to determine if there is another board or commission that matches your interests. We wish you the best in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Michelle DeFrance Carol Feller Caroline Limaye
