<DIV><SPAN id=header-date> Rick Landau's emails of Friday, March 09, 2007 and Ira McDonald's message below.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>c. Perhaps a few minutes on the Counter Spec again. I had sent out an email considering Glen Petrie's comments about a month ago (15 Feb), but there has been no response. I know we discussed these already, but some of his comments refer to simple changes that may inprove understanding and I wanted to doublecheck with the group on whether these should be addressed before I send out the call for objections.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN> 1. "raw traffic" - change to "actiity" or "Workload", or include defintion</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN> 2. add defintion of "Single-sided" as a synonym of "Simplex"</SPAN></DIV>
