[Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Revised Reveal Doc

[Graeme Bunton]

Hi Kathy,

Thanks for the suggestion. There's little doubt that John would have 
some interesting, and hopefully illuminating experience in this area.
However, I think we're too close to tomorrow's call to have him join us.

I'd like to suggest that after tomorrow's call we can take stock of 
where we're at, and decide if John can help us with his insight. Once 
there, we can then extend an invitation or not as the case may be.

Thanks

Graeme
