Kevin;

   Lucy and Greg and I have been talking about getting together a multicast
event announcement page, to better publicize special events being multicast 
within
I2, and to be open freely for submissions from all I2 members.
I see no reason why this couldn't be up before I2 DC.

   As far as a POC list, why not repeat the survey we did or something like 
it ?
As you know, it can be very hard to find out even whether a given campus
is multicast enabled.

   Also, we here at multicast tech are working off and on on a multicast 
status
button - click to see whether you're multicast enabled. This seemed to be a 
good
thing at the San Diego IETF.

   Finally, we (multicasttech) would love to do a demo. Send details.
