[gnso-rpm-wg] RPM Working Group Co-Chair

[Paul McGrady]

Thanks Julie.

I think we should schedule the discussion you propose for our third session
in San Juan, not for our first two.  There will be many folks still
traveling on Saturday (yours included) and we want this discussion to be as
widely attended as possible so that everyone can be heard.  Thanks.

Best,
Paul
