[AG-TECH] AG Node Volunteers for SC Global AND SC '01 Student Volunteers

[Barbara A. Kucera]

Hi Nick,

As soon as I hit the send key, I thought that I should really confirm this 
before I send it to you because SC Global is experimental this year and 
maybe the regular rules don't apply.  Ian Foster or Julie Wulf are in a 
much better position to give you a definitive answer.

Regards,

Barbara

Hi Nick,

Yes, there is always interest in having volunteers, particularly AG node 
technicians, but since we're all volunteers, their expenses would need to 
be covered by their institution.

If things get really tight, there may be some possibility for assistance, 
but at this point it is assumed that this year, as in the past ten, people 
will volunteer to help without reimbursement from the conference.

Hope things are going well for you and UALR.  Keep in touch.

Regards,

Barbara
