Dear Bruce - I want to make sure that I'm working with you and the steering committee to feed any useful products from this workshop into the steering group in order to make the most of these various efforts.  I will also be soliciting registrars' comments to make sure that there is broad input from the constituency into this group.  There is slated to be an initial conference call by Monday, which will provide more information about this group, so I'll be able to ask the constituency for specific input based on the structure of the workshops.

Regards, Elana
