Here is the harmonized draft. The first one is saved as a Word document, the second as a text file. Chuck -----Original Message----- From: Gomes, Chuck Sent: Friday, June 09, 2000 5:04 PM To: 'Kilnam Chon'; Gomes, Chuck Cc: Josh Elliott Subject: WG-E Report - Harmonized Draft <<Working Group E Report - Harmonized Draft.doc>> <<Working Group E Report - Harmonized Draft - text file.rtf>> Chon/Josh, I took a crack at harmonizing the different parts of the WG-E reports. I structured the document following the outline of the original charter for WG-E. I integrated the Part 2 report written by Zita and myself along with the Part 3 and Part 4 reports written by Chon. Note that some summary information needs to be added at the end regarding working group activities. Please feel free to critique this openly. I am attaching a Word version and a text version of the file. The second one was saved as a text file.
