FW: WG Chairs Training in Minneapolis

[Margaret.Wasserman@nokia.com]

Hi All,

Just a reminder regarding the WG Chairs training 
sessions in Minneapolis (see below).

No RSVPs are required for the Introductory session
on Sunday.  Just show up! 

RSVPs are required for the Topical session during lunch
on Wednesday (lunch is provided).  Please RSVP to 
agenda@ietf.org by 5pm tomorrow (Friday, October 31st).

This should be a very useful session with two topics:
	
    - Making our groups accessible to non-North
      American participants -- just in time to 
      prepare for Korea!

    - A practical "how to" session on deploying
      issue tracking in our WGs.  The WGs that are
      utilizing these systems have experienced
      more structured discussions, better document
      quality and quicker document production and
      approval.  Don't let your WG be left behind!

See you all in Minneapolis.

Thanks,
Margaret
