Hello, all:
As often happens, we can't find a time when everyone can be on our ROI call, although ALMOST everyone can make the above time:  Thursday, April 21st, 9 am Pacific, 10 am Mountain, 11 am Central, 12 noon Mountain.  Please save that date and time and call-in / web conference information will be sent out closer to the time.  Thanks very much for filling out the doodle poll and for your interest!
Regards,
Nancy

Anne -- looks like it's you and me for the first reporting on this call.  OK?

Thanks, Anne.  And, may I take this opportunity to remind people who are interested in the ROI topics to fill out the doodle poll so that we can find a time for one meeting a month for the next 3 months (at least)? The poll can be found at:  http://doodle.com/poll/5qwgky45arapdw2p.  Thanks!

Hi all,

Hearing nothing back, I gather the abstract was perfect!  ;)   It is
submitted.  

Though, I write to report back that our cluster, Sustainable Data Management, does not appear on the list of collaboration areas on the form.  (It also does not appear on another list of collaboration areas on
the wiki.   I made a note to that effect in the submission, which we
should be sure will not appear in the final publication.)

Also, there were fields in the form that I didn't know what to do with, e.g., the date.  I'm counting on my understanding that we'll be able to fix session details later.

Are other sessions from our group being proposed today?

Anne
