[asac] January meeting

[Al Wootten]

Hi John

Massimo is available for either choice.  Tony is currently unavailable
(and will be for some time).  Brian, Darrel and I will be at both reviews;
DC on the intervening weekend would seem easiest.  Tom, Ryohei Brian and Iwill
be in DC for the delta cost review; DC at the end of Jan would seem
preferable (as Ryohei has confirmed, as do I).  However, I know Darrel and 
Tom are on holiday and I have not talked to Robert in a while; these 
are just logical surmises.  They receive this email and will respond in
due course.

Merry Christmas, and a less confused New Year,
Al
