<div style="font-family: Calibri;"><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Thanks. </font>I agree that groupings in the letters would be useful for providing clarity to responders. We are working on a reorganization that will add them using the terms in the Suggested
Amendments.</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri;">I don’t think that it is essential that those categories follow the Suggested Amendments document? <font face="Calibri,sans-serif">I suspect that the questions and groupings will be moving target</font>s for awhile as we
learn more, including from letter responses. and make decisions about how to proceed. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As we suggested earlier, and discussed in the last Group teleconference, it might be helpful, as a next step, if we reached a consensus on the groups of questions before sending them out to SO/ACs and SG/Cs. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This would involve two steps: First, agreeing on the name of each group; and second, streamlining the questions in each group. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the first step, we could consider alternative headings (perhaps REGISTRATION instead of MAINTENANCE).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And in the second step, we could remove duplicative or vague questions.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This crystallization would make the questions more approachable, and encourage better responses.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope these ideas are helpful.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Jim had four groups and an umbrella Main category, which may be instructive in itself in guiding how we proceed organizationally. Regardless, the consensus of commenters has been that his document is a significant improvement over where
we were before, and I suggest that we use it as a baseline. However, we still have work to do on it. Feel free to suggest modifications. <o:p></o:p></p>
