    Tom,
    The article looks good. I have a few suggestions for the bullet sections.

    I vote for dropping the bullets about people being able to choose their own email address and auto-generation of email addresses because I think it adds complexity and potential confusion at this point.

    Here's what I suggest for the bullet section:

    At this stage there is not much that can be said with certainty, but there are a few topics on which we've come to agreement.

    · This will be a service people can choose to take advantage of, it will not be compulsory or change your existing email account.
    · Integration with the existing CalNet Directory is a requirement.
    ·The service must have a modest cost and be easily scalable.

    There are a number of undecided issues, including:
    ·Coordination with the uclink/socrates and other existing address namespaces
    ·Interaction with the CalNet friendly name, and the @cal alumni community

    Thanks for drafting the article.
    Tim
