[Gnso-igo-ingo-crp] Synopsis from Prof. Edward Swaine - WG call this week?

Tue Mar 1 14:59:48 UTC 2016

I can make it tomorrow at the usual time, but I'm indifferent as to it
being tomorrow or next week (we'd probably want at least 7 or 8
participants if we're going to have it tomorrow).

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
