Fwd: Re: NSF review July 31

[Jerry Sheehan]

To all:

Two other bits of information for the site visit.

1) During the Alliance site visit (8-11 central) Roscoe Giles would like to 
participate via an AG node in Atlanta?  My understanding is they have 
equipment which was just recently sent to them and are waiting for a 
router.  Does anyone have a technical poc so we can check on where they are at?

2) Understand yesterday that NPACI would also like to use AG for their site 
visit.  Jim F., did Borchers indicate what sites in his email would likely 
connect?

Thanks
