[esa-t474] ESA activities in Jan/Feb 2008

[Woods, Michael B.]

Hi, there won't be a regular ESA meeting next week -- only doing those every 2 weeks now.  So that timeslot is available anyway.  But perhaps could start at 8:30?  mike

We do not have a regularly scheduled T474 meeting next week, but one can be scheduled. Or we can just use the tail end of the standing ESA meeting. I have a constraint at 11am next Monday, but hopefully we'll be done by then :)
