[Sustain] VERY IMPORTANT: Attn Jeanne and All - Our Biofuels Presentation & The Plenary Schedule

Tue May 22 22:09:36 PDT 2007

Ok all, we've finally got some clarity. Below you will see the schedule 
of this weekend's California Green Party two day plenary.
Important Note: There are currently two proposed agendas which are sort 
of mixed together below. We should do our presentation/workshop during 
one of the times that is consistent for both versions. I think we should 
go for Saturday (because people will be worn out on Sunday) and I think 
we should avoid the 10:10-11:45 am time slot, because it is a virtual 
certainty that everybody will still be arguing about the agenda all the 
way up until lunch time. My recommendation is that we go at 2:25-3:30 pm 
which Susan rightly notes will be a great time for a workshop.

Anyway, Jeanne, since you're headlining it, what is your preference. 
They need to know soon, when, and how long. we want to go.

cheers

Eric Brooks
