== IEP next steps == 

 Annie, I was surprised to see here that there are plans not only to continue at Pune but even to expand to another campus.  I am sure that this is all still under discussion, but speaking as someone who has put quite a few hours into the IEP cleanup already, and who expects to have to do many more, I would be very disappointed if the program continues in anything like its current form.  I understand the post mortem is continuing, and I hope that the revised IEP plan for next semester will be on a scale that won't cause anything like the current impact, but because of the scale of the additional work caused I think a great many people will be very upset if there is not a very clear dialogue with the community about your plans before you commit to the IEP's next incarnation.  I've argued that the community should be more involved with the discussions about the future of the USEP, as you know; but as I've said in those discussions I think the USEP is in pretty good shape and if you decide to go in a different direction to the one I've suggested I think it will be OK.  For the IEP the stakes are much higher and I would really like to see these discussions take place on-wiki, at least simultaneously with the mailing list discussions.  Thanks    -  -  )
