Hi Stephen,

Thank you for this latest version of the matrix.  It will be good to 
discuss it further on Tuesday.  I would like to understand the ranking 
numbers and planned evaluation process and hope this is something we can 
address on the call.

Attached is an update to the previous version I was just about to send 
as your recent email arrived.  Please note 4 highlighted rows.  (2 fall 
in the non-functional category.)  I trust they can be incorporated and 
discussed.

Indeed the CMIP5 system(s) are under continued development and 
enhancement and the matrix inherently has some relation to the 
architectural choices up to this point.  Sticking with the current 
replication section for the time being seems appropriate.

Thanks,

-Eric
