Dear Dave,

Per our telecon today, the Communication Metrics web site implements Knowledge Space developed for your Asilomar paper.

A key advantage of this new environment is support for clear, concise and complete communication. Does this capability seem useful?

Another advantage of the web site is to demonstrate the strength of using technology to normalize legal practices that maintain alignment of decisions, which is discussed in the New World Order ... paper. Does this accomplish your suggestion on Aug 18, 1997 to provide easy to understand examples?

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
