All,

Good news -- the workshop request has been approved, as per the approval
notice below. Its scheduled for Monday, February 13, 2006 from 1.30 PM onwards.

I attach the call statement (and a copy of the original application material for
reference purposes).

The next task is the advertisement of the workshop through available
channels.  I will update the web page to reflect this and forward the workshop
notice through NIST channels, and if you have means available to you, could
you do the same?

One thing that occurs to me -- with this approval, there is less than one month
left for advertisement and  submission. The deadline is January 10.
Is it reasonable to delay the deadline to January 17 to provide some extra time
for circulation of the information?  Or is that too tight for purposes of turnaround
before the workshop? (Or maybe we can extend if necessary?)

Sincerely,
Chris

Greetings,

On behalf of the GGF Community Council and GGF16 Program Committee, I am
pleased to inform you that your proposal has been accepted for the GGF16
Program, subject to final ESC approval on Monday. 

Important notes about your participation:
*As stated in the Call for Community Participation, the deadline for
Community Program slides and web content is January 31.  You *must*
acknowledge your commitment to providing these via an email to
collins@ggf.org as soon as possible. 
*We anticipate a number of email blasts to the GGF Community mailing lists
over the coming weeks in which we will provide links to GGF16 program
