I've spoken to you before, and after searching through all of my email I found
that you responded and I never replied.  Sorry about that.

As far as hosting, you should probably just come to a meeting and discuss that
with everyone.  I am not sure if the lists are the places to do that.

As for presentations, we are filling up fast for the rest of the year, and we
should coordinate hosting the meeting with your presentation (obviously).

So maybe the best thing to do is talk in person at a meeting about this?
