Agenda for Thursday's Telecon...

Title: Agenda for Thursday's Telecon...

Hi all,

I don't have a co-chair as yet, so this agenda is a solo effort this time.  I realize there's a lot here, but I thought I'd take this opportunity to lay out on the table the main things I think we need to think about (and discuss) in the very near future.  Hopefully, much of this discussion can begin on Thursday's call.  With some discipline, we can at least touch on all the topics over the course of the hour...  :-)

Carlisle.
