It is something that we need to allocate around 15 minutes to for Greg's discussion and for a strategy discussion on how we are going to deal with it. Greg plans to write a brief on our behalf, etc. We may also want to rally our membership to act on it. So this isn't part of the updates. I have no problem with the Record guy being there and hearing that part (hopefully it can lead to a Record story - in addition to Susan's column), but if he is planning on leaving at a set time, we should make sure we get through the other updates first.

>> 
>> Finally, the GREN business part sounds like non-members may not attend it: "1:00 – 1:15 – for GREN members only." I suspect you are saying that the Record guy won't be coming until 1:15. I don't want to convey to people on our GREN-all list the impression that they can't come if they aren't paid-up members. Or are you saying that this meeting has been advertised beyond our normal GREN-all meeting list and that you don't want to bore other community members with our business? That certainly would be legitimate. 
>> 
>> Finally, I don't see anything about what we want to do for the next meeting and who will organize it. Am I to read from this that the two Susans will continue to do this?
