Re: Alternative Roots Issue



All,

I need a clarification -- does this proposal tacitly imply that
the rest of the PSO-PC sees no need to address the issues I raised
on Friday?

As they were not issues I dreamt up personally, but rather a proposal
based on what I'd heard from people who need to work with the
"interpretation" of our draft proposal, I suggest people thing harder 
before ignoring the proposed changes.

Thanks,
Leslie.
