That's 11:00a.m. PDT, 3:00p.m. in Rio. Go to http://timeanddate.com
for other time zone conversions. The direct dial call-in number is
1-218-936-6581, and the Call-ID is 15447. I can't get the agenda to
post because I'm on a public computer that won't allow me to download
the conversion software.

My Regrets; cannot make 11am meeting tomorrow as I am not free until noon; I am on MST which is now an hour earlier than MDT!  In any case, I will check the minutes.

Hi everyone,

I am facilitating the ESAC meeting today (11 am PT / 2 pm ET), and I
regret not posting the agenda -- which includes the calling
instructions -- at this late time.

I did not make the connection when I agreed to be the facilitator that
people would also be depending on me for the calling instructions...
although now that I think about it, I can see how that would be!

So, please see below my signature for the agenda and a reminder of the
calling information.

Warmly, Jeff
