Hi Till and Jeff,

My scheduled public standards telecons next Thursday 6 March are:

8 am PST / 11am EST - PWG IPP WG - Ira is editor
10am PST / 1pm EST - PWG Steering Committee - Ira is OP liason
12pm PST / 3pm EST - PWG Multifunction Device WG - Ira is editor

We can certainly open our Steering Committee to both LSB and LF
participants next Monday 3 March at 3pm PST / 6pm EST.  I doubt
I'll have any time for a second OP SC meeting Monday 10 March.

I have just committed to an extremely tight release/review schedule
(every 5 to 7 days) through early April for Samsung specs - I will
have *no* extra time in March - sorry.

Cheers,
- Ira

PS - In any case any don't know, I will NOT be at the LF Summit.
