Subject:   Collaboration
Communication Metrics

Dear John,

Thanks for ideas in our discussion today on collaborating, and for sharing impressions on Doug Engelbart's Colloquium that layed out the new reality of a more complex world. The opportunity to join a small KMCI group for discussing solutions and forming alliances is very welcome.

Please keep me posted on the next meeting, and let me know when you have notified Ed about Communication Metrics.

Your comments on POIMS in relation to experience using the SDS record on the Internet would be helpful, i.e., does the deliverable (this letter and underlying links) seem like useful intelligence, as explained in POIMS and in Doug's paper on CODIAK? How can this form of "intelligence" be improved?

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
