[Esip-preserve] potential NYT editorial on data

[Matthew Mayernik]

Thanks all. I did submit the article this afternoon. The submitted doc is
attached for your reference. I added a basic preliminary title, but the NYT
op-ed guidance says that NYT will choose the title, so that's not
important. They sent me an auto-response that said that we should know
within 3 business days, and that if we don't hear by then, we can assume
they don't want it and submit elsewhere.

Thanks again for all of your input,
Best,
Matt
