I sent the standard contract amendment to five vendors six days ago; procurement needs a tracker so they know who's outstanding. I fear chasing will irritate the vendors and slow legal review. Look through the signing status and recent threads, identify which of the three outstanding vendors look like neglect versus internal legal hold, and draft a one-paragraph chase note for each that is firm but not hostile. I will not threaten termination in these messages.
