Re: HCLS chartering/next steps Thur 26 May

Hi all again. Last week we had some good idea exchange about what we
should put into the next HCLSIG charter, i.e. what we tell the world
we are doing. We agreed that we weren't done and that we'd like to
meet in one week. I invite all to meet tomorrow, Thursday 2 June.
Details at the bottom of the message.
