Thanks, Pro, for organizing the cc-europe meeting;
I know how busy you have been (are)...

Regarding the meeting, I will not be able to attend,
and I doubt that Federico will, since he has scheduled
another meeting at the same time.

We will therefore send our comments on this list
and/or in the wiki.

In any case, thanks to you, John and everybody else
who has been pushing this process forward.

Thanks a lot, see you very soon,

juan carlos
