want it cached by Google

Bob Issues at end
1. Focus on RATE MODELS (business models are different, this is more about
cost recovery)
- External sources for recovering costs
- Go after business currently leaving for consultants, where we are asked
to help
- Need resources
2. Positioning for post-Athena world
- laptops, personnel moves, winathena efforts
3. Use of OKI
4. Cross-platform concepts still to realize
- some progress, web services... education internally & externally
* Next meeting: 10/21 in N42
- debrief of business review meeting
- EAST business plans (meeting after)
- follow up on Delivery Council role discussion
* Review what's coming into Delivery
* Focused Information Sharing
* Budgeting in a more shared manner
Cheers, Bob
