091204 - Thesis
091205 -
091206 - Bill and Sherrill felt the thesis was too long and wordy.  They
091207 - decided to go with the paragraph set out in their memo at ref DRP 2
091208 - line 37.
091209 -
091210 -     We discussed the intent of the ideas in para 1 in the ver 09 ref
091211 -     OF 4 line 12, submitted at ref DIP 9 line 30.
091212 -
091213 -     •  Define Information Highway as the interent, meetings, etc,
091214 -        shown at ref DRP 2 line 39, so people have an easy way to
091215 -        summarize the totality of information that must be processed.
091216 -
091217 -     •  Define problem as "haste makes waste" and lack of preparation
091218 -        per Associated Press article.
091219 -
091220 -     •  Define idea of converting information into knowledge as
091221 -        connecting information to events and meaning.
091222 -
091223 -     •  Show how PMBOK can be used to lead way to a solution:  a new
091224 -        management science.
091225 -
091226 -     These elements support need for automated knowledge in second
091227 -     para.
091228 -
091229 -
091230 - Bill will review these points in deciding what to present to the
091231 - committee tomorrow.

110502 -
110503 - Bill said Sherrill has not been able to contact either of these
110504 - speakers.  He has called and left word, but gotten no response.  He
110505 - contacted the person who recommended them and was given a suggestion
110506 - to leave a message on their voice mail.
110507 -
110508 - This is a dimension of the Information Highway we want to show how to
110509 - solve at Asilomar.
110510 -
110511 - Evidently Sherrill continues to feel these speakers can help us even
110512 - though he has not talked to them.

120505 - Communication Ideas
120506 -
120507 - Bill said Sherrill did not understand Turner's presentation from the
120508 - agenda explanation, ref OF 4 line 186.  He asked what Turner does
120509 - differently from other contractors that enables them to present the
120510 - proposed scope?
120511 -
120512 - I asked if Bill has submitted the notes of the interview with Turner,
120513 - per ref SDS 5 line 105.  It points out that Turner does not do
120514 - anything significantly different from other contractors, but that the
120515 - purpose of the presentation is to show how traditional communications
120516 - in construction can be mainstreamed by technology to help people
120517 - outside construction, ref SDS 5 line 426.
120518 -
120519 - Bill said Sherrill has not had a chance to review this material.
120520 -
120521 - We took time this evening to consider the ideas and procedures I want
120522 - Turner to present per ref SDS 5 line 154, are evident in the
120523 - procedures manual for the NBD v. S&W matter at ref SDS 6 line 254.
120524 -
120525 - Bill feels these ideas support the Asilomar theme and thesis.
