Great Job Mike! An excellent example to follow in the future. Posting the minutes to the list this seems like a good thing to do. I will place a link off the WG overview page to them. I suggest if anyone has any corrections/clarifications they send them to the list and I'll take on the job of updating. Brian Mike Dean wrote: > > Attached is a summary of the telecon.
