After receiving acknowledgement of your inquiry from IPO, please allow IPO 14 calendar days at a minimum, to respond to your concern. If you have not received a response or not unsatisfied with the response, please do the following:
- Forward your email and the response to the IPO mailbox
- Add the word “ESCALATE” (in all caps) to the subject line and summarize why you believe the matter needs further attention.
