What Ron raises is quite a proposal that deserves face-to-face discussion.

It sounds like a true challenge. Having never attended MMD, I'm sorry to say, I 
know nothing about what's expected or involved. I'd want to know a lot more 
about that, and our capabilities, before we committed to anything.

Again, I regret I can't be at the next meeting, but if the others explore this 
possibility, I'll try to get up to speed ASAP.
