101501 - He offered following comments from his review, ref SDS 8 0001
101502 -
101503 -    Bill suggests the end of the first para on page 2 discussing the
101504 -    added contribution of communication control relative to cost and
101505 -    schedule control could offend those who use cost and schedule tools
101506 -    as a means to discover problems.

101511 -
101512 -       I decided not to make this change because the purpose of the
101513 -       article is to get people to think by challenging conventional
101514 -       wisdom.  If people disagree, then they can explain in what way
101515 -       the paper is incorrect and this can form the basis for
101516 -       continuing dialog that may lead to greater enlightnement.
101518 -  ..
101519 - Bill feels the language explaining POIMS and SDS needs more to show
101520 - its context in relation to Communicaiton Metrics.  He feels their

101525 -    science, information technology and software tool.
