will send you the teleconference information with local toll free and toll 
numbers.

NOTE: We realize the this time does not work for everyone and one of our first 
orders of business at the meeting will be to determine a regular schedule of 
meetings that can best accommodate various time zones.

Please also review the information on the wiki at:
