Not all chapters, projects, and committees do something once a quarter
so they might not have anything to report.  This isn't necessarily a
problem in that there may be fewer reports reported more frequently
evening out over a year.

Historically we have not had prompt turn around time asking for
reports, that might reduce number of submissions.

Neither of these things should be a barrier to quarterly publishing,
just things to keep in mind and try to accommodate.
