Jeff,

I would like to invite you to an off-site meeting of John Griebling's
organization
and the Research Group.

Date: April 27 - April 29
Location: Breckenridge, Colorado


As you know, John Griebling is managing the network design and construction
project
currently under way in EBS. The Research Group is actively involved in this
effort
which requires advanced quantitative skills in the area of stochastic
optimization and
stochastic processes (for modeling and forecasting Internet traffic flows).

The objective of this meeting is to develop common language and accomplish
transfer
of skills between the two groups, to facilitate cooperation on this project
in the future.

We are also inviting to this off-site senior management of EBS and plan to
have
on the agenda several presentations about strategic directions of EBS. The
effort
of network design and construction currently under way is unprecedented in
terms
of its scope and complexity and it is important for technical people, who
often have
highly specialized technical skills, to understand the broad picture.

I would appreciate if you could join us for Friday afternoon (April 28) and
Saturday (April 29). I understand that you have commitments on Thursday and
Friday
morning. We have reorganized the tentative agenda of the meeting to devote
Friday afternoon to more general topics.

Vince
