[Iswg3906.organizers] workshop date and gmm report?

Tue Jan 21 10:32:12 PST 2014

Re john/dates-- i checked in a couple days ago. he's waiting to hear about
the dates of a potential language class fieldtrip to akwasasne in early feb
and will get back to us as soon as possible. Should I suggest dates later
in feb so we can firm something up or shall we just wait for him to get
back to us once the fieldtrip is sorted?
