Before anything else, please indicate your preferred time for next week’s call via Doodle: http://doodle.com/poll/pibym4qp623zyxii We haven’t had many votes yet! I’ll aim to send out an invitation by EOD tomorrow (Wednesday) Pacific time.

Attached is a decision tree PDF that will guide our call next week. We’re looking for the IRT’s input on which paths to pursue. Hopefully these points will help us get through the complex issues we’ve been discussing via email. At the very least they’ll provoke a good discussion, so please have a think about them ahead of the call.

Bear in mind these decision points will serve as a preliminary gauge of sentiment on which direction to pursue, and are not a final determination of anything. Since we likely won't have the entire IRT on the call, we’ll be sure to provide time for input via email from any members who may not be able to make it.

Once we have an idea of sentiment, we’ll go back to the policy language to update and discuss further.

Recall that this first “decision tree” call will focus on data provisioning. The next will focus on data display requirements.

Please let me know of any questions.
