I keep forgetting to do this ... please keep in mind that the purpose
of the meetings in San Diego is to resolve issues, and presentations
are expected to focus on issues with the assumption that the
audience has read the drafts.  Drafts that provide a perspective
on issues currently facing the WG (e.g., iSCSI errors and recovery)
are particularly welcome.
