Re: [us-marketing] NA-DVD requirements

Drew
How quickly would it take you to download the newest versions from the 
NA.US site?  Then make ISOs of them and upload them to your portal?

They are the most up-to-date versions with the most up-to-date 
dictionaries and such.

Next month, hopefully we will have versions from the CMS system, but now 
we have versions ready to be used.
