Re: [emergency] Fwd: SAVE THE DATE: DHS Demonstration

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Thanks Elysa,

Since I am now aiming at delivering a coordinated 
demonstration of CAP and WSRP by a group of 
companies September 23 or October 18, previously 
scheduled for the Data Reference Model Public 
Forum September 14, I think I may be able to get 
the various companies involved to repurpose our 
demo for this event as well, though I will not be 
able to make a second trip to DC that soon, 
especially in light of the likelihood of one 
truly nuts November. Plus I just went through 
preparing and staging a fairly major event (for 
me) in the Healthcare Informatics field last 
Thursday, so more such "opportunities" are not 
exactly likely to make me, (personally), salivate 
at this point.

However, this is a wonderfully timely opportunity for everyone.

Ciao,
Rex
