I'll let Bob jump in if there is any urgent requirement for RSMv7 feedback.
First priority is AG Itn02 delivery for end of June. But we also want
feedback on RSMv7 to be comprehensive and debated. Maybe it should take the
form of an annotated version of the RSMv7 document? Or a separate document
which refers to the RSM sections? Whichever you and Elizabeth feel most
comfortable with.

Cheers,
Tony.
