Hi Dennis,

I have the following feedback on the minutes from the Jan 4th, P1800 meeting.

Charles Dawson

   I believe that Charles is now the DR from Cadence.
   My recollection is that this change was made at the beginning of the last
   meeting, after Victor mentioned that he was about to leave Cadence.
