   Hi Nigel, SO SORRY I can't be there! For those of us who can't attend, is it possible to write up a summary of key points from the CGC meeting? Thanks. Kathy Brenner

     Kathy, Yes, absolutely! We'll get into the habit of doing that for all our meetings, and we'll post the slides from our paper online here, too.
