071001 - Bill said he talked to Ahmet this evening.  He told Ahmet of on going
071002 - contacts with various potential speakers.  Ahmet indicated he wants

071007 -    Actually, Ahmet has already been notified of contacts with speakers
071008 -    per ref DIP 1 line 295, ref DIP 2 line 353, and at ref DIP 2 line
071009 -    375.
071010 -
071011 -    Bill has the entire record of contacts, and all other work that
071012 -    has been done on this project.

071015 - I asked about the direction and status of Event Planning.
071016 -
071017 -    Bill indicated he gathered from Ahmet that a planning meeting will
071018 -    be held in October.  He does not know the members or the new
071019 -    agenda, theme, etc.  Ahmet asked Bill to participate.  Bill said he
071020 -    is willing to help; he expressed concern about decision making
071021 -    procedures based on history of prior work.
071022 -
071023 -
071024 - We discussed the need to conclude understandings with respect to scope
071025 - and coordination of speakers who have been contacted so far.  My sense
071026 - is to proceed with planned meetings and submit the results to PMI for
071027 - disposition.  Bill advise Ahmet of this approach.

071051 -     One result is Bill's evaluation, ref SDS 2 line 59.  Another is
071052 -     the development of a new management science:  Communication
071053 -     Metrics, ref SDS 3 line 75.  Another is the paper to be published
071054 -     by PMI:  New World Order Needs Old Time Religion, ref SDS 16 line
071055 -     53.  Still another is the class on Communication Metrics at George
071056 -     Washington University, ref SDS 17 line 60.
071057 -
071058 - We could submit the proposal to George Washington University on

Progress

0804 - Summary/Objective
0805 -
080501 - I asked Bill how he is doing using SDS.  He feels he is making steady
080502 - progress.  He finds function key assignments are hard to remember,
080503 - using the F1 key that scrolls the profile.
080504 -
080505 - He has encountered the "Action Item" function in the SDS record
080506 - "Diary/Reports" menu, and was evidently able to use it.
080507 -
080508 -    Help - Ctrl F10
080509 -
080510 -    I forgot to ask if he was able to get Help on menu choices using
080511 -    Ctrl F10 with the cursor on a menu choice?
080512 -
080513 -
080514 - I asked if he is able to use the citations in SDS records to follow
080515 - the history of understandings.  Not sure Bill directly indicated his
080516 - progress on this.  I think he has worked on it.
080517 -
080518 -     Pending Question
080519 -
080520 -     Did not ask for his general assessment of how well SDS works as a
080521 -     general communication and research tool, where Bill is using my
080522 -     records.
080523 -
080524 -     One thing we really need to do is test out the Pending Action
080525 -     Items system created a few months ago.
080526 -
080527 -
080528 - We will try to get together next week for some SDS training.
080529 -
080530 - He has jury duty next week, but only for one day unless he is actually
