Proposed agenda

[Dennis Ballance]

All,

I wanted to pitch a proposed agenda to this list for the meeting next Monday in Las Vegas.  I plan to finalize the agenda and mail it to the world tomorrow.  I’m interested in ideas on additional townhall agenda items.  Also, if you are interested in presenting a portion of this agenda, please let me know.  There _will_ be a teleconference option, and the slides will be available online as well (all hail the Internet!).

PS the speakerphone will be linked into the speaker system, so even if you will be remote and think you have something to contribute, we can make it work.
