Dear AMICO User Committee Reps,

This is the first message in a new discussion for the AMICO Users and Uses Committee.

We'll be using this discussion group to work through our "To Do" list (see http://www.members.amico.org/AMICO9709.rpt.htm#iii._working_committees ) from the Founding Members Meeting, and to resolve the issues raised at our meeting in St. Louis. High on the agenda are the development of final criteria for evaluating the responses to the Call for Participation in the University testbed, and the prioritization of the Research Agenda questions for the university testbed.

A web page for the committee will be available this week. It will include the background materials adn reports from our last meeting. If you have suggestions for items to be added to that page, please post them to the list.

We're looking forward to a lively discussion,

jennifer and David
