[CBW_Exec] BWe, Special Issue proposal (vote by 3/5/10)

[GlsnBarb@aol.com]

Hi Everyone, 

Thank you so much for your thumbs-up on my BWe proposal. I am delighted to 
have your approval and excited about collaborating with Shannon and Susan.   
I'll contact Shannon and Susan about drafting a call for papers in the next 
few days. 

I am really looking forward to seeing you all again soon. Safe journey. 

Warmly, Barbara
