All,    (01)

I've extended BobSmith's worksheet (which he created on 
2006.01.25 for our 2006.01.26 discussion) to cover a slightly 
broader planning horizon. It's now available at:    (02)

http://ontolog.cim3.net/file/work/Ontolog-planning/Ontolog_Event_Plan_2006_20060309.doc    (03)

Please review it prior to tomorrow's call. We'll attempt to use 
that as a planner/sign-up sheet to lock-in the invitations and 
event schedule for (at least) the next quarter.    (04)

Thanks & regards.  =ppy
