In the first one, it’s clear when the note was made, what happened, and what needs to happen next. In the second one, it’s not clear how long ago the note was made or when someone else should reach out to follow up.

If we can all start dating and initialing our comments in the spreadsheet, and giving a little more info on what got done with each contact, it will make everyone’s work a lot easier, and will help ensure that we follow up with organizers with less lag time. Thanks!
