[MEI-L] CfP MEI Strategy Development Group

[Peter Stadler]

Just wanted to second this idea.
Please keep MEI-L informed and don't hide the discussion in another list. (I would go so far to question the need for a separate list at all ...)

Best 
Peter

>>> The preliminary schedule for this group is to draft at least two
