Hi Terry, (01)
I would like to pass a suggestion along to Todd, if you get the
chance to speak with him. It would be much appreciated by those of us
who can't attend in person if the briefing itself had a
teleconference line and better yet if it included web conference such
as the Ontolog Forum provides through cost-free VNC. (02)
I understand that this is standard DARPA and FBO policy, so I am not
holding my breath, but I think that when the fact that the cost is
not a budget buster, it should get a fair hearing. (03)
Thanks,
Rex (04)
