Dan, This is a good idea. I will send out such a summary today and each Wednesday (approx.) for the duration of the RS/960 deployment. Mark

Mark,
Thanks for the update. One thing that hasn't been clearly called out is the procedure for reporting on the progress of the rollout and the criteria that will be used for deciding whether all is well and the rollout should continue.
When we last spoke, you said you were planning to make weekly status reports on how things were going. I think that's a very good idea. May I suggest that you send something out (Wednesdays?) that addresses the following points:
- what changes were planned for the previous weekend - what changes actually were made on the previous weekend - what problems arose (if any) - what problems remain (if any) - what your plan is for the following weekend (the go/no-go question)
This level of detail would enable us to help keep a watchful eye out for any operational problems and it would allow everyone some time to get feedbac
k
to you before the next set of upgrades.
Possible?
Thanks, Dan
