For some time we have been grappling with the problem of how to explain our concerns about BPL to non-technical audiences in a clear, concise, unemotional manner. A collaborative effort has resulted in the attachment. I apologize for the size of the file, which is caused by the graphic, but that's an essential element of the piece.

Thanks to Paul Rinaldo, David Pingree, and Derek Riker for their assistance; they deserve most of the credit.
