I have taken the individual “observations” and “recommendations” from the report and entered each of them as a separate post in a blog.  The intent of the posts is to let us write down thoughts or questions on the items that interest each of us and to see what thoughts or questions others of us have.

To enter your thoughts or questions, or to see if someone else has, go to the category that interests you in the list below and the link will take you to the posts in that category.  Then, select the comment link in the bottom line of the particular post that interests you.  [Note that the order of the posts within a particular category is backwards; the first entry in the report is the last one to appear in the blog.]

This material is in a second blog -- not the one linked to our home page.  This second blog is intended to be a tool to help us exchange ideas and information in developing our plans, programs and individual projects.  These exchanges will not necessarily be out of sight, but here they will not clutter up our main blog.
