	CDS is planning to update its PhD requirements to include a course in stochastic systems, ACM/EE 116. To accommodate this change, while still keeping the number of required courses small, CDS 140b would no longer be required (and would probably be offered in alternate years). In addition, we are contemplating changes to the undergraduate minor requirements that would allow us to remove CDS 104 and teach CDS 110b and CDS 140b on a more intermittent basis.
