Dispositioning Rex's Comments to PRa2 draft

["Estefan, Jeff A" <jeffrey.a.estefan@jpl.nasa.gov>]

Editors,

 

Attached is a simple text file responding to Rex’s comments to the PRa2 draft of the RA for the areas of the RA for which I have cognizance.  Suggest the editors of the remaining sections do the same.  Suppose we could create an issue tracking spreadsheet but I don’t think that’s necessary.  Of course Frank has the “master blaster” copy for final edit so we’ll each have to send Frank our latest updates to incorporate into the master copy; hopefully, soon.

This is a somewhat out-of-band review process from the normal course of events we embarked on several months ago, but given that Rex took the time to read through the latest draft with a keen eye toward cleaning up the editorial issues and ambiguities, it’s a worthwhile exercise to check your respective sections.

 

I did have a few open questions and those are reflected in the attached file.  Some of these will need to be discussed as a group.  Fortunately, there are not very many of them.

 

Bye for now…

 

 - Jeff
