[Jeffrey Kargel]

Dear all,
The joint dinner for GLIMS & Himalaya groups will take place from 6:30-9:00 PM this Thursday.  Please note that non-Himalaya GLIMS people are welcome; however, the private room we have can take in only 4 more people maximum than have now confirmed.
Venue: Henry's Hunan Restaurant, private banquet room, 110 Natoma Street.  Directions from Moscone North and South: northeast 1.5 blocks on Howard Street to New Montgomery St., turn left/northwest 1 short block to Natoma St; turn right/northeast on Natoma and walk about 30 meters. (Please assure that your listed colleagues have received this venue information)

Discussion topic #2, stemming from an email from Tom Wagner (NASA Cryosphere program chief), 6 December 2011, to me: "Are we intending to take it [GLIMS] forward into the future? What do we need to do, what changes need to be made, what data added, what questions is it trying to address, what are likely funding sources?"
