Hi Dean,<br>
<br>
On the telcon we agreed that the list of Day 1 presenters (see below)
is too long and we should try to thin it by<br>
<ol>
<li>moving presentations into sessions where they will be more
directly relevant.</li>
<li>removing organizations from this list if their representatives
don't feel a strong connection to the meeting themes<br>
</li>
</ol>
We agreed that we ought to send a follow up message to the
organizations on the list. Below is a draft of that message (ALL:
comments ASAP please!). Can you get this email out by tomorrow COB?
Call me if you want help.<br>
<b><br>
NEXT WEEK TELCON: Armed with the responses from this email and the
comments provided
with registration we will try to clean up the Day 1 agenda.</b><br>
<br>

<br>
P.S. ALL: In my humble opinion the statement of <b>Purpose </b>in
the Agenda is too long, too broad in scope, and in some cases unclear.
(I'm not sure for example what the first question is asking.) If
anyone has the energy to suggest a condensed version I think it would
be a service to the meeting. (A cheap recommendation ... I apologize.
I'll take a crack at it if no one else proves eager.)<br>

<br>
You are tentatively listed on the GO-ESSP agenda as a presenter on day
1 under "<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman";">Updates
>From Member Groups". This list is overly long to fit the meeting
schedule. The GO-ESSP meeting Steering Committee is asking for your
help thinning it down.</span><br>

<ul>
<li>Which of the themes listed under "Purpose" in the draft
Agenda does your intended presentation address?</li>
<li>Would your intended presentation fit well under
specific topic headings elsewhere on the agenda?</li>
</ul>
Please
respond ASAP -- by May 2 -- to ensure that your presentation is well
understood for the Steering Committee discussions. Thanks for your
help.<br>
