Thanks for taking on the role to facilitate pushing this urgent task through. I have carved out some time to work on this, and will do my best. The laundry list below looks good to me. I would only add that we assemble the set of documents we will be starting from (original proposal, proposal by Dr. Becker, proposal by Dr. Anderson, and may other commentaries such as Abass' assessment of the project in the last Cleo conference, and others...) As I recall, we had problems in the previous group when we found, at times, that we were reading from different texts. Maybe ACG could serve as a library (danEl?). > 0.
