Absolutely.  The first set of policies went out from the top of my
line management tree (the COO) in an email I'd drafted; and I fully
intend this one to as well.  Like you say, leading by example from the
top is the way to go.  I "just" have to explain it once to the COO in
terms that make sense to him, then Bob is, as they say, my uncle.

> Good luck,

Thanks!
