[Imc-supervisors] Can we have a mediated discussion?

Mon Aug 9 15:42:31 CDT 2010

Hi everyone-

I'm not sure what the scoop is- should I be there in 10 minutes? I just called 
but couldn't reach Carol. 

I think I'll go over there just in case- see you? in a few minutes.

Good afternoon,

I have requested that a couple of other folk attend who are not immersed in the 
on-going conflict.  This request is for balance.  If no one is available to 
attend today, then I would like to re-schedule for the beginning of September.
