Subject:   Presentation on SDS for Core KM Capability

Dear Jim,

On May 3 Mike Wirth planned to schedule a Thursday lunch presentation at ARC on my work developing knowledge management, as explained in POIMS. My letter to Mike confirming this understanding, referenced your comments on April 19 about the evolution toward online books, to Doug Engelbart's forum on building a DKR. Just wondered if Mike forwarded that letter to your, and what your view might be about the prospect of creating an effective Knowledge Space to transition from traditional "documents," as the repository of human knowledge?

I know you are busy. If time permits, please expand Mike's bandwidth on scheduling a presentation.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
