Re: Proposed Text for Local Law and Public Purpose

Yes Rigo, I have provided the answer to this working group.  Refer to the
online record and you will see it.  Respectfully, email doesn't have a
"tone" and my foot feels fine.  Perhaps you are confusing directness and
frankness with a particular "tone"?  If you'd like to call me out on
misconduct charges, please provide your case to me and my management,
under professional and formal cover.

When this group defines the terms "track" and "tracking," then we'll
finally be able to understand which exact business practices this
specification refers to-- until then, you and others continue to lump
EVERY business practice under this specification-- sorry, I don't think
that's productive in creating or closing a spec, especially one you want
industry to voluntarily implement.
