Emily -

I can't attend the meeting in person (I live in the Chicago area) but 
the discussion of current/pending telecomm reform is of great interest 
-- are minutes taken at the meeting?  Are copies available?

I'm following these bills for the Illinois State Board of Education 
(K12) and have been trying to prepare and/or find just such a summary!

Thanks in advance.

Jack
