[gnso-vi-feb10] Tools -- VI abbreviations are now in the ICANN Acronym Helper

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

here's a note from Scott Pinzon -- our acronyms have now been immortalized in 
the broader ICANN Acronym Helper.  here's the link;

        http://www.andalucia.com/icann/

a tip of the hat to Chris Chaplow for getting this set up and providing ongoing 
support.  and another tip of the hat to Scott for getting the acronyms loaded 
into the system.  i found the site to be pretty neat.  i put a handy one-button 
bookmark on the site.  :-)

here's Scott's note with a few more details...
