<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Courier",serif;color:black">You likely recall the topic of "Projects with disproportionate delays" from the CESG Meeting. Nav WG has 3 on that list: the PRM, TDM, ADM. Based on the foregoing,
I assert that the PRM will be completed shortly (before Spring Meetings), the TDM is nearly ready for Agency Review, and the ADM is approaching that state. So while we have yet significant work to do, I believe that in the next year most of these 3 projects
will have been completed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
