[Chapter-delegates] PacINET 2006

[Mike Todd]

Alejandro, Desiree, Frank, Raj and the many other folks I "met" during 
the several days I was able to attend remotely.  I have to say I not 
only learned a good deal, my perspectives were changed and re-focused 
in many ways.  I feel this was a series of events that had more impact 
than the organizers and presenters even imagined.  I do appreciate all 
of you taking the time and investing your efforts to educate those of 
us who were fortunate enough to have "attended'.

Thank you ALL!
