Dear Rick,

Thanks for the update. I appreciate your input as I do not know what your
discussions with Rick Buy have been. To address your points below:

1) I agree that your team should be involved in the planning of each
individual review although I am under the impression that Ted & Sally (by
proxy Cassandra and I) would set the scope & timing of the reviews while your
group would be looped in to the planning for each individual process. If my
understanding is incorrect, please let me know.

2) I agree that it would be useful for everyone to attend all meetings.
However, due to the limited time we have from arriving at the doorstep to
delivery of the report to Ted and Sally, your group really has to be focused
on completing the deal test. We don't need three different people
obtaining the same information at the same meetings. If there has been a
change in your group's role from what I originally understood (we need lower
level people from your team who would be able to execute a deal test) , we
may have to add additional resources to do the actual deal test to ensure it
is done on time (by the time we leave the site).

3) Agreed - I'd like to hear what Donna and Mike Neeves have resolved as far
as the database is concerned before we meet again.

Best regards

Shona

Shona: Thank you for your memo. I think it is a good idea to define roles
and responsibilities and I appreciate the fact that you have taken the
initiative to do so. However, I do have the following comments:

1) I have some accountability to Rick Buy for the success of this effort,
therefore I (or my designee) need to be involved in Doorstep pre- planning
and post-mortem. I will be involved in reviewing the final report before
presentation and will attend the meeting when the report is presented to Buy
and Causey.

2) I realize that in the interest of getting a review done timely it is
sometimes necessary to "divide and conquer". However, where logistically
possible, I believe that it makes sense for my people to be involved in
meetings held with Commercial personnel. This facilitates understanding
operations, document flow, points of contact, report writing as well as
furthering our goal of educating "multi-functional" people so that we can
continue to reduce the resources necessary to perform these reviews.

3) There are still some detailed issues that need to be clarified regarding
the database. Let's schedule another meeting with Cassandra and Donna.

Please let me know if you have any questions, Regards, Rick
