[gnso-rpm-wg] Mark Your Calendars: First organizational call for RPM WG set for April 21

Fri Apr 8 19:00:21 UTC 2016

I'd be very pleased to second the nomination of Phil Corwin. He's done
a very able job (with Petter Rindforth) co-chairing the IGO/INGO PDP
working group.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
