Hi John,

   I have just finished adding/editing text in the "hierarchical Events" document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r_XMEgB7p7OI7a5Ouq6G9oa7LmQFPcFhZZCLD9gWOIE/edit?pli=1#) based on my understanding of the discussion during the last 30 minutes of last Wednesday's meeting.  I assume that I was supposed to create new content in the sections before the normative text in Section 3, rather than to work on the usage guidelines in Section 3.  So, I have tried add/edit text in Sections 1 and 2 in a way that I hope explains the rationale for the usage guidelines.  I assume that Section 3 will also need to be altered to some extent in light of what we discussed last week.

   I have added new text (there is a new Section 1.4, and parts of Section 2 are completely new).  However, I think that the starting text by Yanina contained important ideas, and to the extent that I felt able, I have modified Yanina's text to fit within a somewhat different framework.

   Yanina (or John) could you forward this message, or at least news that I am done to the Humbolt Extension listserv so that other folks will know that there is no material?  However, I am assuming that now John should work with this starting material before anyone else dives into it.

   Apologies for not finishing on Friday, but it is amazing how a 2-hour meeting strategically placed near the start of a day can disrupt any attempts to do heavy editing during the rest of one's day...
