conference call sometime in April. Does the week of the 24th work for people? We
had been meeting on Tuesdays (at 11am?), so would Tuesday, April 25 at 11 work
for most people? If you are willing to be on the call, please respond to Cathy
Zahner at the email address above.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>Regarding the agenda for the May 27 meeting, I doubt that
there will be time for Working Groups to meet. The meeting is more
likely going to be devoted to a discussion and vote on the specification; a
discussion of existing working groups and the need for new ones; options for the
DDI Web site; 3.0 tools; and ways to get documentation
created.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">As some of you know, in June I will
be retiring from UC Berkeley after 36 years. I had assumed that I would no
longer be involved in the DDI Alliance Expert Committee. I made my travel
arrangements for IASSIST 2006 and did not include staying over the Saturday for
the Expert Committee meeting. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">With the release of the Version 3.0
specifications I see that there is no way I can let go of the DDI work.
With this in mind, I have talked with the Director of UC DATA who has agreed to
let me continue (post-retirement) to act as one of the UCB representatives to
the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Alliance</st1:place></st1:City>.
What remains now is to work out how I will be involved. For now, I would
like to continue to be actively involved in a response to the new
specifications. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I assume that we will all have a
look at the web site and follow the SRG suggestions for reviewing the
specifications. Should we set up a conference call some time in late April
to discuss Version 3?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

IASSIST/attend the DDI Expert Meeting? If it looks like the meeting on May
27 will be a <U>working</U> session, I will change my travel plans.

from me of any areas of concern or requests for clarification will suffice AND
