[edit] Copyright violation

Possible copyright violation process does not seem to have been followed, as aricle is not listed at Wikipedia:Copyright_problems as the message says it should be. Also the sections

  • February 2003 Memo
  • Former members
  • See also
  • External links

are not from the web page in question, and therefore should not be included in a possible copyright violation discussion. Finally, the web page in question allows the text to be used under GFDL. Simon12 19:07, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Correspondence/memos

I removed the sections on correspondence and memos. They fall under WP:NOT (collection of external links), and are arguably a WP:NPOV violation. The information is easily available on the link in the external web site section.Simon12 14:30, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
