Hi Malcolm,<div><br></div><div>Below please find a wishlist for a Barcelona IS4CWN. I have cc-ed the Summit organizational list - please feel free to subscribe yourself to the list as well as any others who I have missed. (Others who might already be on the list, apologies if you receive this twice!)</div>


<div><br></div><div>I have some other thoughts about wishlists, including potential in kind support that has been helpful in the past, but things just got incredibly busy at my paying gig so those thoughts will have to wait until later this week, alas. </div>


<div><br></div><div>I am available via gchat at this address most of the American day for questions, as well as email after hours, should anyone need anything else from me.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br>
