Subject: Non-Technical Executive Summary of ECF 3

Dear 
People,
 
The 
attached document displays the changes that Don Bergeron would have us make in 
the "Lay Person's" guide to ECF 3.0 which was developed by a committee, except 
that I rewrote the document which Don submitted so it could be seen, using 
Word's "Track Changes," what, exactly, he would have us change in it. I decided 
that asking you to read both versions without the tool of "Track Changes" would 
have made it impossible for us to see the differences clearly. 

 
When we 
first began the process, a committee was formed to work with a draft I had 
begun on my own, to explain ECF 3.0 to a non-technical audience of court 
decision makers such as judges, clerks, and administrators. I asked the 
committee at that time to submit to me their input as additions, changes, 
deletions in the text of the draft. Most were comfortable with doing so. 
Don sent me a commentary with observations and ideas about the document, 
but I was not comfortable about trying to develop Don's statements 
into textual changes--I could not possibly interpret his input 
correctly because it belonged to him. Accordingly, I asked Don if he would 
contribute specific changes as his input on improving the 
document. The document he submitted reorganized and rewrote some of the 
text of the committee document, but it also added headings and subheadings 
and sections and language of his own. However, it had not been prepared with 
Word's "Track Changes." 
 
I believed 
the only way I could compare the version others had given input on 
with what Don gave me was to create this document, but using Word's "Track 
Changes" tool. Because I feared that would take substantial time and I have been 
fully occupied with other duties, I had put off doing that until today - I am 
glad it took me less time than I had imagined - about 3 hours was required. I am 
sorry to give you short turnaround to review it before tomorrow's 
meeting.
 
In this 
version of the document, the edits are marked with my initials, but they all 
belong to Don. Where he inserted comments, I have put them into the "Comment" 
fields in Word. I reproduced exactly what Don wrote, in order to be 
sure his suggested changes are correctly and completely represented for you 
to review. (One exception: I did not physically move the diagram created to show 
the MDEs, but I noted where Don would have them relocated.)
 
Separately, I will forward the document as it had 
been reviewed by the other members of the committee, so comparison can be made. 
The TC needs to discuss and decide what to do with these very different versions 
of a "layperson's guide." 
 
Regards,
 
Roger Winters
