[Iswg3906.organizers] workshop date and gmm report?

[A.R.J. Gracey]

Hi everyone:

Thanks for doing all this Nikki. I don't what everyone else thinks, but I
wonder if we should just wait and see what he says about the dates we
suggested. He'll let us know what works or not I imagine.

Take care,

Tony
