- Assemble and control submittal packages; verify completeness and consistency before transmittal.
- Report progress, risks, and compensatory actions to the Project Licensing Lead and Director of Licensing.
- Maintain the project's reference library and chapter care packages so contributors start from controlled, current baselines.
