[Go-essp-tech] [metafor] Instructions to participate in the 2 June demonstration of new ESG functionality

[Sylvia Murphy]

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for the clarification on this.   At this late juncture, I am  
hesitant to confuse folks by changing the time but would really like  
to see you participate.  Your scientific perspective will be useful.   
Is 1630 BST totally out for you?  I think the demo will only take a  
half hour or so.

Sylvia
