Re: [RPRWG] RE: RPRWG - FAH meeting reminder

["Robert D. Love" <rdlove@xxxxxxxxx>]

David makes an excellent point.  Certainly, getting caught short once is an
oversight.  However, we are now forewarned.  Please take the necessary steps
to insure there is a conference line that will be available for the maximum
number of people that may want to participate.

Best regards,
