Fwd: Re: circulate the members

[John Unsworth]

The TEI Council needs to vote to accept (or reject) the recommendation of 
its training subcommittee, below.  Since this concerns training at the 
upcoming members' meeting in October, and space will need to be confirmed 
if training is to take place, please consider the recommendation, and the 
proposals it refers to, and vote up or down on the matter by the end of the 
week.

Thanks,

<p>John
