Maryann Nicoletti at MPAA sent around an announcement that ARDG will hold its first meeting in Washington, D.C., on February 12. The cost to attend is $75. We have been advised that members of the press are not welcome, though this policy has yet to be stated in writing anywhere.

The announcement is included below.

As agreed at the January 14 CPTWG meeting, the Analog Reconversion Discussion Group (ARDG) will meet on February 12 in the Washington D.C. area.
