Hi Randy, Great, I'll add you to the list of folks planning to join remotely.
Yes, there is a lot in that tech memo. An overview/introduction sounds very useful. Thanks for the information on the ISO work dealing with space weather. I've had some conversations with others interested in this work. I'll send a separate email shortly with more on that.
