[RTC List] FW: RTC Meeting: Thursday, March 8, 5:30 p.m.

[McBrearty, John]

Dear RTC members,
 
This is a re-run of the announcement that Kitty Yancheff already sent
out last week, but if you tend to be on a "just in time" schedule like
me, I thought you might appreciate the reminder.  
 
We all want to avoid a repeat of our recent Internet outages, and Peter
and Rollin are well-situated to lobby the state to help in various ways
with our local efforts to materialize a redundant link to the Internet
backbone.
 
John
