Reassignment Proposal

[ginny listman]

Tanya,

My posted message from April 27, was to survey the membership regarding
which reassignment method they would prefer to use.  Since that time, two
members have stated an IRR-type method, one member stated IRR or improve
RWHOIS, and one member stated SWIP.  Four responses are not enough to draw
any conclusion. Therefore, Engineering has continued with making internal  
improvements in SWIP, including improved processing time, and continues
RWHOIS analysis.  There has been no analysis on an IRR method.
