I will be setting up a conference call for Wednesday at 11:00AM ET.  Is that
too soon, or can everyone make it at that time?  Let me know what you think,
as I can schedule at a later date, if necessary.  Once I receive responses
on interest level, I will send out an invite with the dial in number.



I am looking forward to this conversation, it will be interesting to share
the information obtained.



Thanks,



Sarah Stevens

If there is interest, I would be willing to set up the telecon bridge.  We
have an inside bridge.  No fee for anyone who wants to take part.

There seems to be a lot of interest on the list.  Do you guys want to
setup a conf call?  I haven't done that before but I can look into it if
you are interested.

I am in PST.
