<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Rafik and Kurt,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for the note and for the planning that is taking place for Phase 2.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Personally speaking, I’d like to understand the work place for Phase 2 before I commit to proceeding forth. When I initially committed to join the group, my intention was to participate in the entirerty of the ePDP but the Phase 1 commitment
was <b>extremely</b> taxing so I’d like to get a little bit of an understanding of how the leadership group thinks the timing in Phase 2 will compare.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Fully realize the planning is in its initial stages, but it would be good to at least get an idea.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
