Rex, the meeting is tomorrow from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM EST so I don't have
enough time talk with Todd for this to happen tomorrow. (01)
When I see Todd I will discuss this and try to get an answer for future
DARPA events of this type. I am sure DARPA and stakeholders want as many
good ideas/proposals as they can get. (02)
Of course you can still submit proposals when the BAA is released without
attending the briefing tomorrow. (03)
Regards, TJ (04)

Exploitation Technolog y (URGENT) Program (06)
Hi Terry, (07)
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. (08)
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. (09)
Thanks,
Rex (010)
