With Liddy's permission I forward this to EO:

I am not a member of that group but you have my permission to send it
on - please make it clear that it is drafty thinking!!! and meant to
stimulate comment - I'd like to hear from anyone with comments to
make ...perhaps they could cc me if they respond to the list?

thanks

Liddy
