   Raj,
   Here are my thoughts on the matters you raised.  Let me know what you think.
   I am in the office Monday, but travelling all week after that.

     Thanks Mike.
     My reason for asking was to create a brief for Tim, Frans and you.  On
     reflection, perhaps a better way to get to this might be to ask you to:
     1.  Let me know the headlines of what you plan to say in your 4-5 min intro
     - you will have access to OHPs, not PowerPoint.  I am asking the same of
     Frans.
     2.  And any ideas about how you think we might structure the remaining 30
     min discussion. Specifically, I would like Tim to play the role of the
     informed critic - what would such a person want to challenge you and Frans
     on?
     Would that be possible?
     If yes, can we say by next Wednesday?
     Cheers
     Raj
