Dear All: I look forward to seeing you tomorrow at 3PM at AGU Headquarters for the GSW Council Meeting. Attached, Please find the agenda (also given below) as well as updated reports (I have collated them here for your convenience). Note that Rick Arevelo, Diana Roman, Maeve Boland, and Nora Noffke have given their regrets, but Nora will be joining us via my iPhone as a speaker phone. Please try to make the meeting to ensure we don’t have quorum issues. Feel free to let me know if I’ve left out anything as I commonly (usually?) do!
