Good Afternoon,

I wish to request an extension to the March 1st date for the following
reasons:

     *the Y2K columns...  
          although I have not viewed each of them closely, the few that I
have glanced at do not reflect the data we are currently displaying on the
"production" web pages
          based on timing, I do not believe, we should update this
information, rather, we should delete this column from the evaluation pages
          since next week, includes, Tuesday, February 29th and the Y2K
team has just completed a large effort of syncing web pages as the team
disbanded, could we please the Production pages "as is" through at least
next week
          if we remove the Y2K column, additional coordination/analysis
needs to be completed

     *When we last met, we targeted February 29th since we hoped the
Software Release Project team would have retired and the Process Team
named.  I believe, we are close; however, a little more time would help.

     *Verification of all of this data.
            With just a quick glance, I notice...
             SAPgui showing Computing-help...  Business Liaison Team should
be noted
              SAP User Group clicks to  MIT Macintosh Tech Partners   
              Oracle (Macintosh) reflects the prior directory structure on
net-dist  (/mit/macos7/...)
              MinK...is pointed to
http://web.mit.edu/installers/win.combined/mink/

Hopefully, this is unrelated...I did experience two Netscape crashes in the
past twenty minutes while reviewing the page.  This is quite unusual for
this machine (Dell NT workstation, pentium III, NT v 4.0 SP5, 128MB memory,
Netscape v 4.6).  

Please let me know if an extension beyond March 1st is plausible.

Thanks,
Theresa
