> Dear all,
> 
> Attached is the whole document as it currently stands (hence 
> 'Interim'). I'm sending it out now to give you as much notice 
> as possible of quite big changes to the layout and the 
> Recommendations. Hopefully, they'll be non-controversial. I 
> think they improve the whole thing quite a lot. Another, more 
> polished, version will come out this afternoon.
> 
> Feedback please.
> 
> The changes I wanted you to know about are:
> 
> 1. New structure of document: Exec Summary first, 
> Recommendations second, Technical Summary (was 'Summary') 
> third. Then core chapters. You might notice that I'm not sure 
> where the Introduction chapter will go. Perhaps I'll get rid 
> of it and replace it with just the Contributors (which will 
> appear after the title page) first. Ideas welcome.
> 
> 2. The bulleted recommendations is now the first thing you 
> see in the Recommendations chapter.
> 
> 3. The Recommendations are no longer prioritised. The more I 
> thought about this, the more I thought it was a bad idea. No 
> one fed back to me with a different priority order, but I 
> didn't even think about the first order they were in. Also, I 
> don't think any order we put on it will make any difference 
> to the prospect for these things getting funded and actually 
> happening.
> 
> 4. The scenarios are no longer in the Recommendations. 
> However, they are referenced there and come immediately 
> afterwards in a more appropriate place for them (the 
> newly-named 'Technical Summary').
> 
> 5. Please read the Recommendations chapter. It's got a big 
> change in the Access Grid Support recommendation prompted by 
> Henry and I've fiddled with the R&D section a bit because of 
> comments from Ivan and other anonymous persons(!). There are 
> numerous other smaller changes prompted by Alan, Henry, 
> Brian, Kate and John.
> 
> I'll reply to people individually too, because there's a 
> couple of suggested changes that I *haven't* put in and they 
> deserve explanation.
