Re: Forwarded Invite to Discussion of EME at the European Parliament, Oct. 15, 11:00-13:00

I'm afraid I can't make it either. But I'm looking forward to the follow-up
workshop on "EME, HTML5, and Global Warming". Surely with all of the hot
air produced on this subject, not only the edifice of Western Legal
Thought, but also the Polar Ice Caps are sorely threatened by these dire
technological portents.

Cheers,
Glenn
