[pp.int.general] Let us organize a study session!

[Eric Priezkalns]

Thanks Andrew, I appreciate your honest answer - though I hope I  
didn't sound like I was pointing the finger exclusively at you!

For people who have been to previous PPI meetings, what is their  
purpose, based on what you have done previously?  It would really help  
if you could give a few examples of the decisions and actions that  
resulted from earlier meetings, as obviously I am not alone in lacking  
visibility.

Thanks,

E
