Makes sense to me. I'll wait another 24-hours to allow folks time to
raise concerns about adding these three to CBW EB and/or any related
discussion then it seems we should go ahead and invite them to join us
at meeting and I can add their contact info to our listserv.
Sound okay to the rest of you?
Thanks!
Shannon
