Well, I'm not Diane, but you may want to try The Network Reliability and Interoperability Council Page.

I didn't snoop around the site...to many papers to grade by tomorrow.

Oops, make that too many papers.

Although I wish it were only two. Ron

Diane, I think the WSJ article said a new assessment report was being issued today.

Puddintame,

Looking at the web-site, that is the most recent report posted. It might take the web-master a few days to get any new reports linked.
