Bill,
I'm interested in being there for this discussion (I also have a piece
of 1-1, if possible even more ambiguous) but unfortunately I have an
all-day commitment this Wednesday. Did you get the impression from Phil
that this can wait until next week? If so, could we postpone this until
next week's release-team meeting? If not, I'll catch up with you
sometime later this week.
Thanks,
Oliver
