The workload formula is the only portion of the Guidelines I have been addressing. Fred </BLOCKQUOTE> That is what I am addressing too, Fred, the workload Formula. And that is what your quote is referring to: "At the same time, several shortcomings have been pointed out by those familiar with the document, particularly with regard to the Workload Formula." Fred, my formula address the problem you brought up, and I quote: "It's obvious from some of the comments I have read both on list and privately that a large number of CAUTs don't really understand how it works, and find it rather forbidding." If the CAUT formula is so successful, then perhaps "the list of those who endorsed the existing Guidelines document," isn't as long as you want it to be. Fred, if you see an inherent problem with my formula, point it out. That is what I want to see.  But don't dismiss it just because you've been working on the CAUT for over two years, and don't want to see another idea. Wim </HTML>
