Erwin, its great news that GIN will continue. But would you mind if I
questioned the wisdom of having f2f meetings out of the OFG timetable ?
Its hard enough to make it to OGF (or get one of my team there) but I
have no hope of getting to CERN 'just' for GIN. Sad but true.
Anyway, I can take hart that GIN lives. And I really do think GIN has a
valuable contribution to make!
