Re: [coord] Re: Request for Inter-Group Coordination at TPAC

Thanks, Art. That time will work. Are you able to teleconference in your
room? I would like to have James Craig, and possibly also Rich
Schwerdtfeger in on our conversation, and neither of them will be
physically in Shenzhen. 


I'll leave it to James Craig to provide an example of what we propose to
move toward in our User Context module over the next few days. As he
notes in his separate email, this is new thinking for us, just approved
this week. I'm certain, though, James can have something for us in time
for our meeting.
