<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Following the policy meeting where the community requested that the authors of both soft-landing policies withdraw their respective policies and work together on a unified policy, and the commitments made
to the community by both sets of authors of both policies, my co-authors and I are hereby unconditionally withdrawing policy AFPUB-2016-V4-003-DRAFT02.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
