131003 - Dave suggests requesting a 30 day extension.  This was submitted. Mike
131004 - objected to web mail, and advised that Don in his office would issue a
131005 - letter granting the 30 days.  Don reported that a 30 day extension
131006 - requires a court order, which can only be granted upon filing a
131007 - motion.  Don is stipulating to a 15 day extension.

131403 -
131404 - Dave has a conflict because they represent UPR.  He suggests I request

1320 -
1321 - 1107 received letter from Mike
1322 -
132201 - Mike sent a letter strongly objecting to web mail, ref DRT 2 8956,
132202 - similar to Morris at Intel on 990712, ref SDS 46 5837, and Doctor Syed
132203 - Naqvi at Kaiser on 990802. ref SDS 49 9108  More recently on 990817
132204 - Morris indicated people need to first acquire commitment in order to
132205 - help them improve management, ref SDS 52 6829, which aligns with
132206 - comments by SFIA management on 990505, that "attitudes" need to change
132207 - in order to apply Com Metrics. ref SDS 39 4732
132208 -
132209 - Mike's response indicates concern about mixup that occurred in the
132210 - record reported on 990806. ref SDS 51 1760
132211 -
132212 - On 980824 Max Wideman forecast objections, ref SDS 29 5977, regardless
132213 - of advantages.  On 990527 Morris cited strong cultural forces that
132214 - prevent managers from using "intelligence" delivered via Internet; and
132215 - suggested lawyers are a better market segment for this capability.
132216 - ref SDS 40 1233

132218 - Benefits of web mail were developed on 990804. ref SDS 50 1280
132219 -
132220 - Mike's objection conflicts with review by Anne Bevington, a former
132221 - colleague at KHLS, who, on 930921, found that SDS, which is the
132222 - underlying engine of Communication Metrics, can provide effective
132223 - legal support, ref SDS 1 6883, based on review of features and
132224 - application. ref SDS 1 3940
132225 -
132226 - On 990827 notified NSF of strong emotional resistance to technology
132227 - for improving management, ref SDS 55 1088, which requires research to
132228 - develop solution, and propose Common Administration.
132229 -
132230 - Mike says in his letter today to call Don Osterhout in his office to
132231 - request an extension, and that Don will write a confirming letter.

132604 - Don asked if we need 30 days?
132605 -
132606 - I explained the amount of time required is not clear, but that 30 days
132607 - is requested in order to develop an understanding with Mike and UPR on
132608 - the best way to accomplish UPR's objectives.
132609 -
132610 - Don will investigate and call back.

1328 -
1329 - 1156 Don called back
1330 -
133001 - Don advised his research shows that in San Francisco getting a 30 day
133002 - extension requires an order by the judge, which requires filing a
133003 - motion.  He does not want to file a motion.
133004 -
133005 - He will draft a letter stipulating to a 15 day extension, and send a
133006 - copy for me to sign.
133007 -
133008 - I thanked Don for timely investigation of local rules, and requested
133009 - that he notify Mike of my appreciation for the firm's consideration.
