A Consensus (and the wish list) [RE-wrenches]

[Ezra Auerbach, Trace Engineering]

Hi All,

We are not hosting a "secret" meeting.  We are however asking all the
participants agree to confidentiality with regards to the specific proposed
product improvements we will all be working on reviewing.  The Focus Group,
the first in an ongoing series, will be held in Sacramento on Sat Feb. 3.
There is time slotted into the agenda for a general roundtable on improving
communications with Xantrex Trace

Ezra
