    Data Base in Italy
    Exporting the DB offsite was subject of a CDF review on December 12, 2000 (additional info in CDF5352 and CDF5374 and in my e-mail archive on the subject) that resulted in a report. Following up on that I kicked off a proposal to make one only replica in Italy. Here is my first letter with replies from Rick St.Denis and Jack Cranshaw, and my (temporary) closing comment.
    A somehow animated discussion on this followed in April 2002, here are mails from Alan Sill (the start) Stefano Belforte (my complain) Robert Harris (the boss) Alan Sill (a clarification) Sefano B. again (more specific questions) Jeff Tseng (concerns share by DH leader) Rick St.Denis (more concerns sharing) Bill Badgett (another boss tries to cool it off) Stefano Belforte (try to move on to start a project)
