Re: Feedback from PFWG on Touch Events 13 September 2011 draft

Hi Michael - I don't believe you and/or PFWG responded to my email below 
(sent on October 13 and archived at [1]).

Since the comment deadline for LC#2 (published on October 27 [2]) ends 
on November 17, I would appreciate a response by the 17th.

-Thanks, Art Barstow
