It will greatly help to get these
meetings into crowded diaries if each topic has:



  
    A good title (does what it says on
the tin style) and strap-line that amplifies that. Ideally a speaker
name and credentials for the role will be helpful. The credentials bit
need only be their role or relationship to the topic. E.g. Professor of
Software Quality; Lawyer specialising in IT Law etc.
  



Actions:

    By When

preferred location

		  Dear all,

My apologies for not participating in the second conference call yesterday (21/06/05).

Unfortunately a meeting with a software vendor overran. 

Obviously I am content to pick up any actions that may have allocated to me in my absence (in an email conversation thread earlier with Gary Iâ??ve volunteered to pick Linux security meeting I am in the porocess of an approach to a couple of project reps).

Once again my apologies  - all the best 

Patrick
