Subject:   SDS Implements Doug's Ideas for a Culture of Knowledge

Dear Henry,

Thanks very much for your generous offer to consider featuring SDS in the Bootstrap Institute's new E-Journal forum under the banner....

Engelbart in Context

The record today provides background to assist in this effort.

As we discussed, work over the past year has identified a number of people with skills and perspective for explaining how SDS implements Doug's ideas, including his 1992 paper....

Toward High-Performance Organizations...

In addition to Jack Park, the record indicates others who could critique this proposition.

I heartily applaud the decision to exand the audience for implementing Doug's goals on developing capability to solve complex problems. This is a big step toward a culture of knowledge that can lift civilization beyond the limits of information technology now in use.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
