I agree with Khalid that this will be the crux of the discussion.     
Glenn's format will probably allow us to focus on that for a good  
amount of the time.

CGL has done a terrific job of establishing Linux as the market  
standard in the carrier space.     Clearly CGL is an important  
concept, almost all of our members care about it, and most of them  
see the strategic value in the effort.    Although there are members  
who don't always agree on the best tactics for continuing this work,  
which I will go over in detail in the meeting, I do believe we will  
be able to meet the needs of the workgroup.

I have spent a very large amount of my time working with our members  
to help them understand the value of this project and the needs of  
the workgroup participants as outlined on this list.     I will be  
bringing CGL up once again this week with our board of directors so  
that I can relay their guidance in our Friday meeting.

I look forward to meeting all of you this week.

Safe travels.

Jim
