[imc-korea] IMC Meeting 3/7/2005

[nevin domer]

Ok, here are the minutes that I took from the meeting. Look over them and 
make any corrections or additions I will add them to the Wiki site (when I 
figure out how) and put a link to them in the Jinbonet blog…

I think that it’s important to keep a record of who is speaking, but since 
these minutes will be public I just put first initials for the people… 
maybe later we can all agree on the nicknames (or real names) we want to use 
for the minutes…

If there is part of the notes you don’t understand / remember email me…
