0907 -
090701 - Follow up ref SDS 8 0000, ref SDS 7 0000.
090702 -
090703 - Did the notes for the meeting with Max and Bill Benkavitch last
090704 - Friday.  Prepared ref DIT 1 0000 to Max transmitting the notes.
090705 -
090706 - Sent it initially to Bill for comments.
090707 -
090708 -     [See follow up at ref SDS 9 line 78.]
090709 -
090710 - Bill sent an email saying the record was correct in capturing the
090711 - essence of the meeting.
090712 -
090713 - Bill visited later and expressed a concern that Max seemed to be
090714 - disapproving of using Communication Metrics in some respects.
090715 -
090716 - I explained my sense that Max is strongly in favor of using
090717 - Communication Metrics.  He sometimes speaks in half sentences that may
090718 - leave an impression of disapproval.  My experience has been that he
090719 - wants interlocutors to respond to the subject he raises so he can get
090720 - a response without having to disclose his own views.
090721 -
090722 - Bill indicated he will out of town for a week or so.  I will keep him
090723 - posted on the status of this effort.
