[Olga Cavalli]

Avri,
I am interested in participating in the group, if it is possible,
considering size of the group and that I am a noncomm appointee.
Regards
Olga

> We want to satisfy three goals simultaneously in adding members to the

> - insure that a diverse set of perspectives is included in the
> planning group
> - include some participants with relevant organizational experience
> - keep the group small.
