gail and joan,

I'd say this is entirely understandable, considering the late-stage 
development of some of the most important content. I'd really like to 
commend everyone who is working hard - both in front of the camera and 
behind the scenes. kudos everyone! list-folk need to be patient as the 
program comes into focus in the coming weeks. its a good one and its 
only going to get stronger. if any of us know GNSIers who might be 
off-list (its easy to forget that so many of our group do not overlap 
this list) be sure to keep them informed if/when any pertinent details 
shift. I know that Kapi is working hard to keep the website updated, so 
remind them to go there to cross reference with the tentative newsletter 
schedule.
