Summary: See you in Phoenix.

Please don't blame Peter for the BOF, the research sessions, etc.  His
involvement in the BOF planning was because I delegated some things to
him (being the USENIX Executive Director means you have to put up with
twits like me just because they happen to be on the board).  On the
other hand, if there's credit to be allocated, do let him have a heap
of it.  And those of you, such as Joe (and Laura, and Mike, and Mike),
who were in the original kitchen, as well.

The original idea was for a session in the regular technical conference
schedule on the problems of women and minorities in computing.  Why that
did not and is not likely to happen is a topic appropriate for the BOF.

The working title for the BOF in the board meeting was "Women and Minorities
in USENIX."  No ``for'' or ``about'' in it.  The final title is up to Liz.
(Do get it to Judy soon, Liz.)  As at any BOF, all may attend, but the chair
may decide who has appropriate things to say.

I suggest further discussion at the BOF or at the open board meeting.
