RE: Where do we go from here?

["Wijnen, Bert (Bert)" <bwijnen@lucent.com>]

I think that Randy and I both have been saying/asking:

  areas) adds a significant benefit and addresses a
  significant part of the Operator Requirements in the
  area of Configuration of Network Devices and Services

Thanks,
Bert
