"We want to hear what you think about sustainability and its role in planning," according to an APA website announcing the update. The APA is asking planners to "[read] the current guide and give us your feedback to help shape this important document."

The APA is collecting input on a MindMixer site that provides multiple ways to access and engage the process, including a feed of all comments posted since the site launched on September 26, 2014.

Also according to the APA site, "[a] full draft of the updated Policy Guide will be released for public comment in February 2015 and presented for adoption at the 2015 National Planning Conference in Seattle."
