Re: Best Practices editors: to-do list & timelines - For tomorrow's meeting

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the reminder.  It is on my to do list to remove.  Give us to the end of the week to clean up cruft please.  We are reviewing all the issues raised & clearing out stuff that shouldn't be in the doc and stuff that we didn't have time to give thought consideration to.

Cheers,
Bernadette
