recommendation of the Systems subgroup was to produce the working draft, to solicit
that the proposers make additional contributions that would provide missing details,

the additional input offered for consideration by the AHG, or it can be done as
a collaborative effort. I will make sure that if AHG members participation is
desired, the announcement of the date and time for the discussion is made with
the appropriate two weeks advanced notice, and I will ask that a conference
