[New-imc] SPRINGFIELD (take a look)

[Jay]

Hi Marc and the new-imc group.

Seems as if the Springfield IMC is well on its way!  Sharpie
<bconle at simons-rock.edu> has volunteered to shepherd your information through
the new-imc working group's three day decision period, then to imc-process for
the final week-long decision-making period.  He may be traveling right now, so
if we don't hear from him by tomorrow (Friday) I'll be happy to start your
information through that process.  

THANKS!

Jay
