Start with the proposal itself: where does it stand, and who handles the next step? Look up the current campus process rather than relying on an old message or someone else's experience. Keep a dated note of what you've submitted, any replies and what's still unanswered. Ask about deadlines, missing information and support. When you update your group, be clear about what's a suggestion, what's under review and what's actually been decided. Only report what you can verify.
