<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">My apologies if I caused any disruption by calling in to last week’s XWG meeting unannounced. I was asked by Randy Scott, who has intermittently attended a variety of previous calls, to sit in in his place in an attempt
to better understand current OFA directions in the hopes of anticipating any upcoming changes to our HPC capacity systems production operations in the medium term.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Unfortunately, a number of the invites he forwarded seem to be outdated now. If it’s not too much trouble, and if it wouldn’t be inappropriate, I’d appreciate the opportunity to attend – as a non-voting, non-board-member
attendee – whatever calls may be appropriate, and any advice that may help make the most of the available lists (most of which I believe I’ve signed up for, and the archives of which I continue to survey) and meetings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Thanks for any assistance and again, apologies for any inconvenience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
