2/16/2007 from 2 PM - 4 PM central time will be the time for the call to discuss the SAS-2: Expander Notification of Temporary Shutdown (07-008r5) proposal. This version has simplified the shutdown process. The actions needed to be taken by an expander that received the new notify have been minimized.

If you feel brave you can attempt to connect to the web conference. This is not Webex and requires you to get an IBM ID at least 10 minutes before you attempted to connect to the meeting. To do that go to the following web site and fill in the information. It's not clear but you have to use an email address for the IBM ID. Good luck.
