regrets for today's call.
but here's a thought...
the IRTP motion deserves our support -- i note that it's not "seconded" in the agenda. please don't let it fail for lack of a second. and vote for it -- it's an exact repeat of the recommendations of the working-group and represents two years of good/hard work by the WG and the community.
see you in Singapore.
