Harald, HTA> In the steady state (30 docs/month, currently), perhaps 30 man-hours/month 30 documents go to Proposed each month? The steady-state rate of review is the average number of documents that go to Proposed. (well, ok, the average of the number that went to proposed 2 years ago. In any event, we can distinguish documents that newly come up to their 2-year limit, versus dusting out the closet of those that already hit 2 years, before this. Keeping up with the new documents reaching their limit is the critical-path activity. Dusting out the closet can take as long as we want. d/ -- Dave Crocker <dcrocker-at-brandenburg-dot-com> Brandenburg InternetWorking <www.brandenburg.com> Sunnyvale, CA USA <tel:+1.408.246.8253>
