pick-up the 3 missing files ("dupe" issue).
4) On November 2, J and NII got the CDMFI script to run by creating a batch

3) On November 3, two WHO files were moved/relocated on [INN for the Findit
utility to run:
WHO Journal Aug 2003_dupa.pst

These file are located at \NES\2003\PA_Issues
NOTE from I "for some reason findit couldn't process them. We had to move them
to the issue directory so we could continue the search. This was discussed with IM arid
[believe we just need to document the fact that these files were moved."
6) On November 2, [MMM said he would convene the Oversight Team to decide what to
do about the 31 OVP files were moved by someone after IE conducted their
detailed IV&V /analysis (they still have not been moved back to their proper locations)
7) On November ME invormea the MST that the 6 WHO files that are either mis-
named or were put in the wrong directory (due to the master inventory) should not hold
up the IV&V but that these files need to be marked for deeper analysis
