Hello all,

Thanks for the updates.

6.5 is good now.

-6.8: the you write "start-start instead of finish-finish” I think you mean 
"start-start instead of finish-start” no?

-6.8.2: I’m not sure what "There was an extended decision process which left 
some task for the baseline program behind as it became clear they would not 
be needed” means, but it doesn’t seem to be needed.  I would suggest to 
remove.  I don’t think what’s written under impact statement is an impact 
statement.  I think we want something along the lines of “Since this part of 
the project is complete, the $134k positive cost variance will remain.”

-6.8.4: How was the fix tracked?  Did we do a BCP for this?  
 
Thanks,

Gustaaf
