hi

i agree with this thread, and anriette made jsut 
such a suggestion during the consultation (posted to this list)

we have until sep 22nd to firm up speakers - but 
i'm sure we can pool the speakers we have now, and add as they come in..

can we start a new thread on this parminder/vittorio? new subject line?
