[CONDUIT #GBP-609047]: Change to SREF in CONDUIT

Hi Becky,

re:

Correct; we never got the NMM and ARW members.

re:

What we would like depends on the impact on the data feed...

Question:

- do you know what the volume/number of products would be if we added
  all the members?

  Really, the important thing is the different in volume/number of products
  AND timing between what we are getting now and what we could get on
  August 1.

We'll be here :-)

Excellent!

re:
> Maybe we hold off on any additions till after that?

If the volume/# products is a wash (i.e., approx. the same after dropping
the ETA and RSM and adding the NMM and ARW), I think we should move to
the new products as soon as possible (after alerting the CONDUIT community,
of course).  If there is a significant difference in volume/# products
(meaning more after the change), it would be best to wait until after the
move to the new CONDUIT toplevel injection machines.

Cheers,

Tom
