Don:

We discussed this briefly in today¹s call, but tabled it to next week¹s
meeting in hopes that you can join us and share more details about the
research you mentioned, as well as elaborate on your concerns. Apparently,
this change is coming out of the ADA-AAG. If you can¹t join us next week,
then please continue to elaborate via posts to this list.
