081317 - Robert received the letter, ref DIP 1 0001, linked to the record of

081319 - on 000415. ref SDS 34 5852  He had not yet reviewed the record, so he

081323 - Robert reported everything appears to have been done correctly.
081324 -
081325 - He asked about the procedure for creating the record?
081326 -
081327 - The SDS record provides planning on what needs to be done in relation
081328 - to past practice and requirements.  It identifies problems based on
081329 - what has been done and what went wrong.  This can help training.  The
081330 - record also confirms understandings to avoid communication mistakes by
081331 - providing timely feedback, and lets everyone work from a common
081332 - information base, called "shared meaning."
081333 -
081334 - Robert wants to use the SDS record to help Pac Bell management
081335 - recognize the effort required for configuring Windows 2000 for DSL
081336 - service, and that Pac Bell should invest the resources to develop
081337 - expertise in setting up DSL under Windows 2000.
081338 -
081339 - Robert has another colleague who works in the same building, and who
081340 - has configured Pac Bell DSL on Windows 2000 for his home computer.
081341 -

081343 - easily contacted for assistance.
081344 -
081345 - Robert tried to contact this person on the phone using a pager number.
081346 -
081347 - This effort was not successful.
081348 -
081349 - Robert will send his colleague a letter via email explaining we need
081350 - assistance configuring W2000 with DSL.  He will request ideas based
081351 - on the record so far, and try to arrange for a conference call
081352 - tomorrow OA 1730.
