[nm-wg] urgent - sessions at the next GGF

[Leese, MJ (Mark)]

Hey Dan,
 
I requested two sessions for the next GGF (10-12th May). One 90 minute and one 45 minute session. The very basic agenda I've provided is...
 
 1. Introduction
 2. Review of NM-WG work
 3. Update on V2 schema work
 4. Details of groups making use of NM-WG schemas, including demonstrations
 5. Talks from Asia-Pacific participants (to be announced)
 6. Questions/discussion
 
... which can be firmed up on the NM-WG website nearer the event.
 
Richard will definitely travel. I'm looking at how feasible it is for me to also attend - emails late on a Sunday indicate my current level of busyness ;-)
 
Any help with preparing material will be very gratefully received. I was going to add more detail to the agenda once our sessions have been confirmed, and target people (beg, beat, steal ;-) for input accordingly. Many thanks for standing up and putting yourself in the headlights of my oncoming semi ;-)
 
Speak soon,
 
Mark.

Hi all,

Various things just reminded me that GGF is around the corner. I'd be
glad to help (in some small way) prepare material for presenting at that
meeting. I'll be traveling until April 17, but could make it to a
teleconference after that. That is, if someone is still planning on
attending and presenting the NM-WG work.
