________________________
Argonne National laboratory is hosting an Access Grid Retreat at the end of 
January, 2001. The retreat will consist of short topical papers and 
informal discussions on technical topics related to the AG.

The agenda is not yet finalized and we are still actively seeking 
interested personnel who would like to present on an AG related topic. We 
can provide 5-10 minute idea spots or 20-30 minute slots for making 
detailed technical proposal or reporting on technical results using the AG.

If you would like to propose speakers and/or topics, please email Rick 
Stevens at stevens at mcs.anl.gov. We will be producing a proceedings document 
for the meeting and are encouraging groups to prepare short 3-5 page 
position papers and PPT presentations for inclusion in the proceedings.
