Hi, Tim, I think this is a great idea. What will help this effort succeed, I think, is if DCAT can let us know ahead of time what issue(s) they'd like to bring up, prior the meeting, so it can be added to the agenda... we can then have some time to prepare for the discussion. Sorry, I know this will likely end up being more work for you, since you usually compile our agenda. But, it would be helpful to have a chance to prepare. -- HARDY POTTINGER <[email protected]> University of Missouri Library Systems http://lso.umsystem.edu/~pottingerhj/ https://MOspace.umsystem.edu/ "A child who does not play is not a child, but the man who doesn't play has lost forever the child who lived in him and who he will miss terribly." --Pablo Neruda
