<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">I think your edits make very good sense. Regarding the category "resource planning" - I usually describe this as "resource allocation" although
I do like resouce planning too since it gives you a feeling of planning ahead whereas resource allocation is perhaps not as forward looking? Anyway I suggest we pick a category name that most people belonging there feel comfortable with (currently listed:
Santos, Borg, Asche, Ma, Forbes, Comans)<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">I seem to find that Yifei Ma's work could belong to the category Disease spread. Santos model population growth which would be central in resource
planning, I agree. The work of Borg, Asche, Coman seem relatively applied (and close to descisions on how to organized care) whereas Ma's description appear to start out theoretically but then seems applied in modelling US influenza scenarios. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1f497d">How about organizing the text/listing of people and their work according to categories like you suggest Valerie (these being the most pronounced
category of each person's work), and then we could have a table with {the people} x {the categories} where more than one category could be checked for each individual person's work? E.g. I might argue my work also slightly belong to the category predicting
drug effects but not at all as pronounced as the category resource planning (or possibly resource allocation).<u></u><u></u></span></p>

This table is an attempt to do what the first reviewer asked for - directions/guiding principles. Any comments?<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Please see my comments on the attached. It seems to me that the contributions group according to several general themes (see my sticky notes), so possibly reordering them and grouping them under the themes may address the reviewer concerns.
It also might make the structure a bit more logical. Just a thought.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">This is to everyone involved in the overview paper on population modelling by examples.<br>
<br>
Time is short for the review process. We have a week to restructure the paper according to the comments of the two reviewers.<br>
<br>
I'm happy to take the lead, but I can't do it all on my own. I'm particularly looking for some help with addressing the comments from Review #1. So I need some volunteers to help.<br>
<br>
I also don't have the email addresses of most of you, so please email me at <a href="mailto:rsmith43@uottawa.ca" target="_blank">
rsmith43@uottawa.ca</a> and we can divvy up the work. I'm an excellent editor, so your inputs can be rough, but I need some ideas. With so many of us, we should be able to put our heads together, but I do need help.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
