What you say make sense, and perhaps we should scale back the changes that I made in response to what Martin suggested to include only those that clarify. But, I do think this needs to include things like the 1998 issue - we didn't have that on our radar screen in Bergen, and we will get grief if we don't say something. So, I suggest we all look at what I sent, and try to only consider those changes which clarify and don't change existing meaning. Then, I also assume we give everyone a chance to check what we've done. No meaning's changed, just clarification. Most of what Martin (with Susan's blessing and input I sense) suggested was along these lines, but not all, so as you read what I did, please err on the side of sticking to our original agreement not to change meaning after Bergen. Thanks David for thinking and writing wisely. best, peck >Jonathan, > >I haven't looked at these in great detail, but I >have a problem with Martin making suggestions >about the TSU Exec Summary for chap 6.
