I was really hoping we could do this on a best efforts basis with all of us  covering any issues arising during the month of December.
Since there seems  to be insistence on a date certain there is no choice but to have Steve start  in EBS on 1-1-2001.
Ted can't physically be there until then.
It will be  difficult to have full RAC responsibility without physically being there.
