I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Mike Miller and the network folks at NCSA for all of their efforts in identifying and solving the problems with the unicast bridge they run against their public venues. The public venue server and associated bridges that NCSA provides to the Access Grid community are invaluable for many of the large and small events that occur. For many participants who work in extremely restrictive environments behind firewalls, we have come to depend on the public servers. I know that from at least my perspective, we would have been unable to participate in many of the highly visible and important events that have taken place over the past few years if it were not for the services provided by NCSA. Taking the time to track down and fix network issues is frustrating, but we all realize how important this task is. So a huge thanks goes out to the folks at NCSA for putting forth the effort and making such a tremendous contribution to the Access Grid community!
