[DCRM-L] DCRM editorial question: Spacing (0G4) vs. Initials (0G10)

[Laurence Creider]

I like the suggestion as well.  I would suggest, however, that the comment 
period always be 2 weeks, because people tend to disappear for a while. 
For example, next week our 9-month faculty are all on spring break. 
Another option might be to have a comment period lasting 7 days but over 
portions of two weeks, say Wednesday through the following Tuesday.
