[IBL] MIS Template?

[genny]

Hi Noel and all - I was the one who floated it.  Although I would still
love simpler MIS, I sensed an understandable range of opinion of what was
"simpler" and whether "simpler" was better.  Although I planned on forging
ahead and providing something for everyone's review, I found a single year
of IBL experience and time constraints were not a great combo to reimagine
MIS.

I did take a pretty mediocre shot at making an Excel version of MIS.
Frankly, I am going to jettison it for this year and just go with the
standard wall of text MS Word approach.  But since you asked, and since I
know it's not good so no feelings will be hurt, I've attached it in its
current "form" with some placeholder content.  Basically, I wanted to
create an index (see the first tab) that would allow owners to determine in
one look if more specific instructions were necessary to consult.  I would
have better organized the index and add hyperlinks so that you could
double-click on a cell and would be taken directly to the relevant tab.
Would also organize in decision tree order (like many of you do - PR first,
then PH, then .....).   Then would make the more specific instructions as
lean and clean as possible.

It has a long ways to go to be "simpler" and better, and I'm not sure it
would ever get there.  But I might keep trying to poke around with it in
the future.  Unfortunately for now, no better mousetrap in Minnesota.

Thanks all.

- David
