RE: [sv-bc] Minutes: Nov 23 SV-BC CC

Thanks for reviewing the status, Doug. This is very helpful.
I will take it into account when assembling the agenda for
Tuesday's meeting.

With only one meeting left before our deadline we have our work
cut out for us. I'd prefer everyone focus on immediate priority
issues as much as possible.

Matt
