I agree. I have marked the last sentence of 9.3.3.8 for deletion.

I liked the existing wording but I am also okay with deleting the 
word "essentially."

My only concern is that someone will now come back and say, 
"Pre-Active, Pre-NBA, Post-NBA, Pre-Postponed regions were not part 
of 1364 so how could they encompass the 1364 event regions? The word 
"essentially" was meant to mean, "for all practical purposes" when 
used in this context, showing that it was not meant to indicate that 
this was an exact match.

If everyone agrees to delete "essentially" then I am fine with the 
suggestion. I have currently marked the word for deletion.

I will not send out another version of the proposal until more 
feedback comes in.

Thanks, Jim.

Regards - Cliff
