Subject: Re: [edu-team] WG Chair Training - REMINDER

Hi All,

I've attached the full agenda for the WG chairs training session in SF  
below, which will be held during the Wednesday lunch slot.  All WG  
chairs, BOF chairs, RG chairs, WG secretaries, IESG members, IAB  
members and EDU team members are welcome to attend.  If you want to  
attend this lunch, please RSVP to [email-masked] TODAY (Thursday,  
March 19th).  DO NOT reply to me.  RSVP to [email-masked].

This time around, our topic will be IPR -- both copyrights and  
patents.  I realize that this is a dry topic, but handling IPR issues  
is an essential part of our IETF jobs.  Don't wait  to understand  
these things until they come up in your group, or by the time you  
figure out what is going on you may have a big mess on your hands.

Hope to see you all in SF!
Margaret
