[I think we should either remove me from the list, or strip the encryption part of the list. I find it unmanageable with the spam and my gpg set up, so I don't read it. -RD]

[coordinating with steph --gaba] 4) It looks like all three of the us (me, Cecylia, Philipp) will be going to the RACE kickoff meeting. I figure that's our best chance of figuring out what RACE is, and influencing it into being most useful to us. 5) I'm going to answer an NYU ITP guest lecture invite for Monday night, with yes.
