Dear Professor Dogac, (01)
Thank you for getting back so quickly (from your auto-responder,
I thought we weren't going to talk about this until next week ...
which is ok too, actually.) (02)
Allow me to apologize for the mishap in the scheduling. Since
quite a few of the active participants in our community are also
involved with the eGov semantic interoperability activities, I
thought we would do better by re-scheduling. (03)
Both Feb. 23 and Mar. 2 should work well for us. When do you
think you can decide? There's no immediate urgency ... but then,
if we lock in a date early, others could generally schedule their
activities around it (the mishap this time has been most
unfortunate and quite unavoidable.) (04)
Thanks & regards. =ppy
