whether messages should go straight to voicemail.

*Discussion*

The group discussed how to get feedback from the PIC-SER participants. It was
agreed not to ask for formal written feedback, but instead to have each group
give a ten-minute presentation at the PIC WG meeting at the Internet2 Member
Meeting. [ACTION]  Rodger and Ben T. will draft presentation guidelines for
PIC-SER participants.

EyeBeam presence updates haven't been working reliably for the PIC-SER groups 
at
Penn and MIT. Steve has tried changing the IP tables config and experimenting
with timing, without success. [ACTION] Candace will send the PIC-SER list log
files from her eyeBeam presence testing; all will review.
