[Esip-semanticharmonization] [EXT]Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: 2020 ESIP Summer Meeting - Time to Set up our Schedule

Fri Jul 10 12:35:48 EDT 2020

John was flattered but didn't express a strong interest either way if we
were to ask him it'd have to be soon. Does everyone think the agenda is too
full or would there still be space in the session? If so we can try
inviting him.
