The Group agreed that it was appropriate to focus on cities rather than regions, as cities could be "sold" more easily than regions, but suggested concentrating on an inner group of cities with the strongest competitive opportunities.

It is also good practice to note important decisions/consensus reached by email in the minutes of the next 'live' session, and to summarize briefly the decision-making history in the final documents the WG produces.

 PWBA Advisory Council Working Group on Employer Assets in ERISA
At the 97th full Advisory Council meeting held on March 6, 1997, it was agreed that a working group be formed to explore whether the merits of having employer assets in ERISA sponsored plans outweighs the potential risks associated with investing in such assets.
The working group's objective was to address the concern that some defined contribution plans may be invested in an undue concentration of plan sponsor assets.
Working Group members asked if including low-income retirees in the data were skewing this result, but subsequent data showed that even in the highest income quintile of those over 65, pension income accounts for around 26% of income, compared to only 2.1% for those in the lowest quintile.

But there are laws against tampering with computers without the consent of their owners (regardless of whether there is malicious intent), and since this software makes significant changes that are not disclosed in the EULA, I think the actions violate the intent of the law.

If Sony was all that interested in keeping people from reverse engineering the software, they should have specified what software they were talking about instead of simply hiding it and crossing their fingers.
