As you know, a group of (largely) ex-PDP Chairs will be meeting with us next week. You saw an earlier message from me in reply to Mikey O'Conner identifying some of the issues that we would like to see discussed. This kicked off a thread that may rank among the best e-mail discussions I have ever participated in. I will forward those message to the entire ATRT now. I think the thread is about finished, but if there are any further message, I will forward those as well. I strongly suggest that all take a look at these messages prior to our meeting with these folks. I'm not sure if these message will arrive in the correct order, so I am sequence numbering the subject lines. Alan
