Re: Comments on posters and new template + ITS elipse (Re: Updated validation poster (Was: Re: [Minutes] MLW-LT call 2013-02-20, plus doodle for luxembourg prep call))

Hi Dave and Yves,

I've reworked your 2nd slide, Dave, for Okapi, with my larger fonts, 
etc., leaving practically everything else the same. (Except I changed 
the tabs of the sectors you recolored from gray to white to also be 
white. Hope this is okay. Am willing to further work on this if either 
of you want.
