Re: [ga] Notes from today's secsac meeting

Thomas and all former DNSO GA members or other stakeholders/users,

  Thank you for your personal report Thomas.  And given the past
incidences with Email bugs from John Kliensen it is not surprising
but unfortunate that in your opinion that John's presentation was one
of the most "interesting"...

 So I think some actual broader review of the other presentations
for review by any and all of the stakeholders/users would perhaps
present a more balanced review opinion...
