I've been asked to convey a few preliminary administrative items:

  1. You will be added to the Launching Group mailing list tomorrow. To make sure we have the correct e-mail address to add to the mailing list, please let me know if there is a preferred e-mail address to use, or if you have more than one.
  2. I'll also be sending out a note proposing a time for a planning conference call on Wednesday, to have a preliminary discussion on the Launching Group's work ahead. There will be a proposed time of 12:00 (noon) UTC, along with call in information. For those that would like to be conferenced in, there will be a request for a number at which the operator can reach you.

Please feel free to let the other launching group members know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,

Theresa
