  9. Comments: This could be any notes that you want to associate with the task. e.g. pre-requisites, dependencies, successors, cause for delay etc.
  10. Delete: Sometimes the task is no longer relavent. for e.g. the windows development team had an action item "Check for performance on vista capable machines before release" Now we know it cannot be marked as done and doing it now will not help......  Instead of marking it as done you can delete it to indicate that the task has not been done but is no longer relavent.
