UPCOMING NATIONAL SECURITY FORUM EVENTS AND TRANSITION TO A NEW WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTER
Colleagues: First, an administrative note regarding our conversion of the NSF Forum to a website/newsletter.
We will soon be shifting the way in which you receive NSF commentary and meeting notifications. At present I am sending them out by my AOL, which has worked fine on the sending end (AOL allows me to send the emails, which numbers close to 400 now on our NSF list). However, on the receiving end, many members are not getting them. It could be because your servers are automatically rejecting emails sent to that many folks. Some may go to your Spam Folder.
I don’t know, but to insure this gets through the wickets I am sending this missive out in groups of no more than 35–horribly time consuming, but need to do it this one time.
Around May 1, thanks to Tony Lockard and Rex Barton, you will be able to receive the missives as a newsletter you “subscribe” to (no charge). We hope to do that automatically but will also send out instructions how to get on the list if the transfer doesn’t work. In addition we have a Beta website that looks real promising (www.nationalsecurityforum.net). More on all this soon.

We have three very exciting events coming up in the next month, two in conjunction with our sister organizations in this area. The first two will be held at the Siena, and the third will be a dinner at the Nugget. I look forward to seeing you at these events, all focusing on different national security topics.
