[registrars] Agenda for February's Virginia Meeting

["Michael D. Palage" <michael@palage.com>]

Hello All:

Listed below is a tentative agenda for the meeting next month in Dulles,
Virginia on February 16 & 17.

In an attempt to build upon the success of the Marina del Rey meeting,
materials will be provided approximately one week the meeting to allow
registrars to focus their discussion. I have also discussed sponsorship
activities with interested third parties, and it looks like there will be
events planned for Friday and Saturday evening as well as Sunday afternoon
after the conclusion of the meeting.

Best regards,

Michael Palage
on behalf of the Registrar Executive Committee
