Hi everyone,

It is time to have a telecon again, both to catch up on events that
have happened and to plan for upcoming events, particularly the vlbi
observing in November.

The number to call is 02 6214 3363 (and all need to dial the full
number)

I have booked the number for the period 1:30-5:30pm AEST, but the
nominal start time is 2pm. Let me know if there are huge problems
with this and we can move within the above window.
