[CBW_Exec] FW: Wednesday workshop question

[Kelly Ritter]

I think this is a great idea, as it would also allow some in-out flow
regarding the BW crowd (some will do AM, some PM, for the ALP, some both)
and would open up participation for BW folks in other afternoon sessions,
like RNF or another workshop, if they were familiar with or not currently
interested in ALP.
