P. Uhlir: We have a lot of good questions here. I've tried to arrange them in order beginning with the threshold questions of definition and technical issues, leaving some of the more complex issues dealing with process and agreements for the end. If you don't hear your favorite questions coming up right away, don't worry, we'll get to them. One of the reasons I am doing it this way is that we only have about an hour of so of discussion time, and therefore we probably won't get through all of these questions tonight. John Simpson has suggested that we address some of the remaining questions in the morning. Therefore, I am saving the kind of questions that address the issues that we were going to address tomorrow in any case for that time. What I'd like to do is read the questions and then if I have an idea of who might be able to answer or provide a comment initially in response we'll start off with that individual. After that anyone else who wants to say anything is welcome.

This, of course, was raised by Pamela Meredith in her talk. The question is as follows: The definition of debris appears essential for moving forward legally.
