131106 - week.

131112 - The meeting will introduce Rod, and Communication Metrics.  We will
131113 - not use the computer to demonstrate the SDS program, but will explain
131114 - background using SDS at PG&E, which led to use at USACE.
131115 -    ..
131116 -    Will submit USACE reports, per planning on 971210.

131127 -    links to support information.

131131 - will link to the USACE reports, and to Bill's report, to illustrate
131132 - the advantage of Communication Metrics on the Internet that makes
131133 - support information instantly available.

131137 - May not need to address in this meeting Bill's point during the
131138 - meeting on 001128 that SDS is effective without starting at the
131139 - beginning of a project, ref SDS 39 6M4J, since in this case the plan
131140 - is to start using SDS at project inception.
