RE: [gnso-ff-pdp-may08] Definition V4.3

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Joe,

Here's my suggestion.  Propose new wording (fixing phrase-truncation 
would be a Good Thing, for example), and offer a (*short*) 
rationale.  Retracing arguments (in full-text mode) from the past 
doesn't really move the ball forward at this stage in the game.
Note to all -- I'm dropping off the 'net for a few hours while I head 
to the farm, so silence isn't indicative of anything except lack of 
connectivity.  Back soon,
m
