[AG-TECH] thanks to myk and NCSA folks

[Cindy Sievers]

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Mike Miller and the network 
folks at NCSA for all of their efforts in identifying and solving the 
problems with the unicast bridge they run against their public venues.  The 
public venue server and associated bridges that NCSA provides to the Access 
Grid community are invaluable for many of the large and small events that 
occur. For many participants who work in extremely restrictive environments 
behind firewalls, we have come to depend on the public servers. I know that 
from at least my perspective, we would have been unable to participate in 
many of the highly visible and important events that have taken place over 
the past few years if it were not for the services provided by 
NCSA.  Taking the time to track down and fix network issues is frustrating, 
but we all realize how important this task is.  So a huge thanks goes out 
to the folks at NCSA for putting forth the effort and making such a 
tremendous contribution to the Access Grid community!
