For those of you that don't know a lot about the P1363 working group or who
haven't attended any meetings, next week will be a great time to get
started.  I am giving an informal overview presentation of the working group
on Tuesday afternoon at 2 pm in the Anacapa formal lounge on the UCSB campus
and we are having a short working group meeting on Thursday afternoon and
Friday in the Flying A room in the University Center building.  All meetings
are open to the public.

Below is a full agenda for the P1363 meeting next week, including
call-in details.  We have several presentations on Thursday afternoon;
later on Thursday, and all day Friday, we'll be working to progress
the current P1363a, P1363.1 and P1363.2 documents. We hope to
see many of you there!
