We will have someone there, probably either Steve Coran or Tom DeReggi. We are trying to schedule a private meeting with NTIA as well. There is some contention on whether they are taking private meetings or not. The first press releases said they were, but we saw one yesterday that said they weren't. This public meeting may be a replacement for private meetings. I should know more soon.
