Hi Carl    (01)

I will try to participate in OGC and GITA Emerging Technology Summit
IV, it sounds interesting. On the slides, is the constuction analyst
typically and architect or engineer doing the design, a contractor
interested in pricing and constructability issues or a combination? Is
it one person?    (02)
