all,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>here’s the current agenda for the Council meeting (11:00 UTC Thursday,
27-Feb) — there are no issues that require a vote, but please comment on
anything that you would like Osvaldo and me to focus attention on during the
discussion. unfortunately, our next ISPCP call is scheduled a few days
after this Council meeting, so we’ll have to have this conversation via the
list.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>thanks,</DIV>
