If Intel has more sales and marketing people then the customer at a meeting, you can keep adding names to the list with no problem.

@ntc+1tM0CBLp... Intel knows it is selling cr-p and doesn't want to hear all of that customer noise.

I hope you are joking... SMG isn't solving anything. Do you really understand what SMG does? They "talk" to the customer... take that feedback, and tells a PME in the business unit of the problem. The BU PME then talks to Intel post Sales Customer Support (technical team) about the problem. If post Sales Customer Support can't solve the problem, then they go talk to engineering of the problem (design, packaging, etc). Once engineering figures out the problem, they tell Post Sales Customer Support... who then tell BU PME... who then tells Field Sales... who then tells the Customer. Depending on the severity of the problem, some mucky-muck at the customer can call Michelle or Pat directly... which then triggers a bunch of special response team where they have a G10/G11 babysit (painful daily meetings) the problem till resolution.

SMG has historically gotten hit hard with layoffs. The group expands and contracts faster than IT.
