RE: [soa-rm-ra] Burton Group SOA-RA

["Chiusano Joseph" <chiusano_joseph@bah.com>]

I have known Anne professionally for several years, and would describe
her as very open-minded. I don't think it's proper or professional for
us to be making hasty judgements about someone in a public forum when we
don't even know the person. Especially when it's someone with Anne's
experience and stature. Let's concentrate on our RA, shall we?:)
