RE: WIERD

April,

That's what I get for sticking my head above the parapet !  Bribery usually
works better, but any sort of attention makes a pleasant change !!

I will be in San Diego, but as you can see from my job title below, I'm not
a free agent.  Despite the fact that we all attend the IETF as individuals,
my company has this WIERD idea that I should keep tabs on all the guys that
I am paying to attend. And there are some meetings that I have to cover
myself.

If there is no clash with another of my scheduled sessions, I will attend
the WIERD meeting, if there is one.  However, I can't commit to anything
else at present.  I might have a better idea of exactly what I'm doing
(that'll make a change), when the IETF agenda is published.

Regards,

Graham Travers
