Hi Mark,

My position paper is attached -- I hope this is what you had in mind.
Sorry it sounds a bit article-like (it's a habit). I didn't post it to the
public list since I wasn't sure who it was intended for other than you,
but you're free to do so if you like.

Talk to you Thursday,

MacKenzie/
