Key proposals include adopting the Fall Mailing guideline for destination-entry mail, expanding coverage to origin-entry mail, and ensuring consistency in service standards. An emphasis on seasonal adjustments, including extending delivery day ranges, is also highlighted. The ongoing review process will involve industry input and address additional issues pertinent to mail service, including performance, business rule changes, and technology advancements.
