Ken asked me about this and timing a couple of weeks ago and i suggested exactly what you are thinking. I don't think we can wait until year end. The opportunity to get everyone back in the money quickly and have a financial reason to stay and work through all of our issues is important. How big of a group are you thinking? Jeff and I have our top MDs/ VPs into a couple of groupings. It also really depends on what the goal is. I'm in tomorrow.
