[Dmsp] Re: request for dmsp BOF (updated attendance)

[Ted Hardie <[e-mail]>]

Howdy,
	This BoF has been approved; thanks for putting it together.  Since
the conflict with SPEECHSC is noted below, you may want to publish the
intent to hold a BoF there, as well as the usual places ([e-mail]
and potentially [e-mail], depending on your noise tolerance).
			regards,
				Ted Hardie
