InCommon Federation Discussions About Online Student Services

["Ann West" <>]

David (and All),

It's looking like Monday afternoon of April 23 during the 4:00 to 6:00 pm
timeframe is the most likely candidate. The times may shift up to 30 minutes
either way, but this should give all enough information in case you need to
schedule flights. 

If you're intending to attend in person, the Crystal Gateway Marriott is
*very* close to Regan National Airport (DCA). For travel information, visit
http://events.internet2.edu/2007/spring-mm/hoteltravel.html.

I'll be out next week and reading email sporadically until Monday April 9,
so if you have questions about logistics before I return, please contact
Renee Frost at .

Best,
Ann
