[Rdap] [CNI-ANNOUNCE] National Research Council Symposium on Data Access & Reuse, Dec 1, Washington DC (fwd)

[Joe Hourcle]

It was sent out to a rather broad list, so I have no problem with sending
it out to yet another list (or more, so apoligies to people who get this
more than once).

I'd go, and report back, but we're moving our whole office two days
before, so I'm not a good candidate.
