Meeting agenda and Traction

Dear Doug,

I have been assigned to jury duty for the next several weeks, and so cannot attend meetings at SRI. Based on excellent progress of the DKR meeting last week, it is a great thrill to see things moving ahead on your important agenda to develop augment capabilities. On April 7, ideas were submitted to support sponsor outreach. Also, on April 7, Eric requested ideas on agenda issues for the weekly meetings at SRI, which reflects the leadership essential to move ahead. I support Eric's recommendation on April 14, and again today, to focus on Traction for the OHS XML Editor and DKR engine. This will accomplish your call on April 5 for the team to begin gaining experience using links in project email, that can be bootstraped to improve other applications.

If there is a record available on the meetings and team activity, I would appreciate getting a copy.

Thanks.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
