Rod,

[Responding to your letter on June 16, 2002....]

PS. Had a little difficulty separating your comments from the original source in your letter this evening.
..
Thanks for letting me know. Outlook using Word shows definite distinctions during editing and then destroys them before sending.

Outlook refuses to reply in HTML if it deems the original message to have been in plain text, but it won't show you what you are really going to send. How's that foe WYSIWYG?!
..
Given the value of an FSR or similar role for Com Metrics, how do you see that interacting with the need for the manager(s) to be involved with the record?
..
Do you see the primary function similar to that of an executive assistant - opens the mail, organizes the folders, prepares information, handles presentation, etc.?
..
I see a part of the role of the Com Manager as being to transform much of the unstructured input into "intelligence" which the manager can use in his activities and decision making. I was trying to get a better picture of the ways that the interaction between a Com Manager and other managers might work.
..
It would seem that a full time Com Manager could handle material for more than one other manager if the managers were closely related. Too much email or too many meeting could simply swamp anyone trying to organize a reasonable portion of the ongoing record.

Thanks,
..
Sincerely,



Garold L. Johnson
