During yesterday's ConCall Sivasubramanian M provided a link to a set of contingencies / scenarios he is managing. For my own purposes I've used some of each of his contingencies / scenarios to form a short, and possibly relevant identifier.<br>
<br>
This note is simply informative, providing the URL of the original, below my personal short identifiers, to allow Mr. Sivasubramanian to know that I'm reading his document, and to provide you all with the URL for your own purposes.<br>
