GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  Purpose.  To solicit Reserve policy issues for consideration by the CY19 MCRPB.  The CY19 MCRPB is scheduled to convene in the National Capitol Region for three days during September 2019.
2.  Background.  The MCRPB is established by reference (a) to consider, recommend, and report to the Secretary of the Navy on Reserve Policy Matters.  These recommendations are generated by careful review of issues submitted from the Total Force and the MCRPB members.
3.  Action.  Each year, the MCRPB solicits policy issues for consideration by the MCRPB.  Issues from the field are vital to the success of the board and help shape future policy of the Marine Corps Reserve.  Solicitors are encouraged to visit the MCRPB web page and view topics that have been previously submitted for the Board’s consideration.  The MCRPB web page can be accessed via the M&RA main website located at www.manpower.usmc.mil.  From there, click on the "Reserve Marine" drop-down menu and click on the "Marine Corps Reserve Policy Board" link.  Click on “Historical and Current Issues.”
4.  Submission Process.  The deadline for submitting policy issues is 2359EDT, 12 August 2019.  Late submissions will not be accepted.
a.  The survey can be accessed at the following link:  https:(slash)(slash)surveys.max.gov/index.php/survey/index/sid/621672/newtest/Y/lang/en
b.  Read all instructions carefully prior to submitting the issue to the Board.  You will be asked to provide contact information.  Please follow the specific instructions provided for submission.  A PowerPoint quad chart slide template is provided within the link.  A quad chart slide is required for each submitted issue.  The system allows for the upload of additional documents (information paper, etc.) to assist with further explanation of the issue to the Board.  Individuals will receive a confirmation email once all actions are complete and the issue is submitted.  Emails which contain issues for consideration that are sent directly to the POCs on this message will not be accepted, unless coordinated previously.
5.  This MARADMIN is applicable to the Total Force.
