[CCWG-ACCT] REVISED memo

[Greg Shatan]

Ultimately we need to look at specific issues and concerns within each
model, and specific strengths and weaknesses of each model.  (SWOT
analysis, maybe?)

These can't be viewed as three sealed boxes.  Lining up with flags saying
"Single Member," "Single Designator" or "MEM" and engaging in some sort of
jousting tournament will get us nowhere.

There are a lot of commonalities and smaller gaps, as well as a few yawning
chasms between the three models.  Clarifying the strengths, weaknesses and
goals of each model, and trying to remove concerns and differences, will
get us down to the nubby issues.
