160402 - Newsgroup Changed to Discussion Group, Launch Delayed
160403 -
160404 - Bill said the Newsgroup will not be started this week, as indicated at
160405 - the PMI dinner meeting last Wednesday.  He said there are technical
160406 - and administrative difficulties that make having a Newsgroup
160407 - untenable, so he is investigating incorporating a similar kind of
160408 - communication environment as part of the PMI NCC Web Site.  Formerly,
160409 - the Newsgroup would have been a separate address.
160411 -  ..
160412 - He asked me to change the name in the article for the Newsletter to
160413 - Discussion Group and to report an announcement will be made of the
160414 - actual launch date.
