[Rick Wesson <wessorh@ar.com>]

done.

The call is at 4pm EDT on Thrusday Jan 30th. The dial-in number and access
codes will be sent out individually.

The time should be ok for most registrars, if my calculations are correct
the call will be at
   1pm West coast US
   4pm east coast US
   6am for Japan
   7am for Melborne
   10pm Western Europe
