Dear Wolfgang, all,

It looks as though the meeting next October will be a very good one,  
an excellent venue to focus on these critical issues. A comment --   
it would seem appropriate to include some reference to GGOS in the  
call for abstracts. The importance of reference frames in all that we  
can hope to accomplish with the geodetic observation system should  
not be overlooked -- the reference frame is (obviously) the  
fundamental component of GGOS.

Looking forward to a very interesting meeting,

kind regards - Ruth
