control.

existing kavi MS pages for a "Clearing House" for Presentations:
        - New section
on "Documents" page for Presentations being offered,
        - New Action Item
to be raised (against Mark Little) for incoming speaker requests.
  Graham or Mark will document the same once

educational webinars for SCA.
- Graham summarized IBM's plan for a set of vendor-neutral
SCA/SDO half-day hands-on workshops and reiterated IBM's desire to broaden
