[tei-council] Ann Arbor spring meeting

[Kevin Hawkins]

Martin, thanks for investigating what MGuest offers and what we need. 
You're right that it's insufficient for our needs, so we'll need to get 
temporary accounts for everyone.  This is similar to what we did for the 
2009 conference and it shouldn't be a problem.

(U-M is testing eduRoam, but it's not functional yet.)
