hi,
One comment on the Global Exec Summary - on the last page, there is a nice list of 10 HEP questions. In question 9, there is a phrase "the problem of the Higgs boson" which seems nebulous and dangling, i.e. "which problem ??" 

Presumably this is referring to the naturalness of the Higgs potential parameters.  Is there some non-jargon phrase that can be added to explain what problem this is referring to? Something like "….are motivated by the conundrum of maintaining a light Higgs boson mass in a quantum theory, and…"

regards,
Ashutosh

Here's what we got during our phone conversation. Ignore the Energy Frontier words, since we're working on them. This shows the status of the Capabilities and other stuff.

Seems I neglected to actually attach the document.....sorry.  Here it is.

Hi All,

Here is version 4 - already!  I inserted all of Jon's and Gil's comments and Jonathan's new version of the big questions to the best of my ability. Inexplicably, Jon's and Gil's line numbers did not correspond with my version.  Go figure.  One comment on Gil's corrections, is that I think both Harry and I felt strongly that it actually was a realization at Snowmass that neutrino physics has entered the precision era. So I left that phrase in the text.

Re Jonathan's revision of the questions - they look good to me!  I left in the first "How do we understand" phrase for the Higgs boson, as it seems to be very accurate there.

Keep sending your comments!
