<html><body> <DIV>Happy New Year! I trust that we are all refreshed and anxious to resume work on the CIM realignment activity.  As noted in the last minutes, <A href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/minutes/cim_051212.pdf">ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/minutes/cim_051212.pdf</A>, we do have a concall this Thursday at 2 PM EST. The subjects will be the issues presented in those minutes, as well as preparation for the 12 noon  EST  6 January joint call with CIMCORE. Indeed, we had intended to provide some material to John Crandall indicating our approach. However, I think it best that we refresh this and, considering Mr. Crandall's penchant  for brevity, provide a very brief statement as a talking point for the Friday meeting.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Considering that we will be laying the FINAL plans for the initial CIM realignment activity in these two meetings, these are important  calls. Please participate of at all possible.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>WIMS/CIM call:</DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2> <P align=left>Toll Free: 1-866-365-4406 </P> <P align=left>International: 00+1+303-248-9655 </P> <P align=left>Passcode: 2635888# </P> <P align=left> </P> <P align=left>CIM Core call: phone number to be given at WIMS/CIM concall.</P></FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Many thanks,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Bill Wagner</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV></body></html>
