I've asked Jean to handle the work of evaluating and/or integrating any
feedback from you and Rajendra into this series. Jean, has this latest
series fully considered those issues? Or are there still some areas of
misalignment / lack of clarity?
Anyway. If there's a problem with this process, it sounds like you,
Rajendra, Jean, Benoît and I should schedule some time to talk over the
same issues that you discussed with me on the phone. Perhaps next week?
