This is excellent and useful information for attendees. I think the plan to
hand out a whitepaper is very good; it actually generate synergy with the
security panel. I'm very concerned about the lack of time we have.

Unfortunately that would mean the paper would basically be done, since
slides are due today (in final form). This is why I wanted to stay in close
communication about slides with individuals this week; I'm very happy with
all the other presentations/slides, but this one looks like it has a slim to
none chance of having the paper written *and* slides generated by the end of
today -- and slides are the priority for now, the paper can be written over
the next two weeks.

Please try to distill this into a set of slides we can go over by lunch,
that gives you time to refine them further before we need to have them
finished.

Thanks,
