[Go-essp-tech] ESGF Telcon Tuesday (2/12/10)

[Dean N. Williams]

Hi Michael,

	Let hold off on your questions until next Tuesday (2/16) meeting. We  
will make sure your questions make the agenda for next week. We are  
going to be hard pressed to get all the other things listed in the  
agenda under an hour.

	I believe, Karl and Bryan are also attending the MetaFor meeting in  
Paris. Please feel free to discuss your questions with them and  
discuss with the group at the next Tuesday (2/16) meeting. (Safe  
travels.)

Best regards,
	Dean
