Subject: Good to hear from you all!

 Hello, ALL,
 
 The enthusiastic responses to the earlier emails and
 this post site suggest the necessity of a reunion. 
 My thanks to Lao Wen, Dai Sa, and those who are 
 organizing this event. Gu Yaojun asks in her 
 message how many of us are considering going. 
 Li Xiangdong made a valuable point about classmates 
 in China. May I suggest that we start a 
 pre-registration for the event. Dai SA, if this 
 is not of great distraction to your daily work, 
 could you please set a link for a simplest form 
 for registration, where one can check off �yes�, 
 �no�, or �maybe�. A proper registration procedure 
 will also help those who do not have the vacation 
 time to find an excuse to get off from their work. 
 Maybe we should consider registration with a small 
 fee to offset the expenses for group activities 
 (I assume we don�t just go there to hit the slot 
 machines - just kidding). Do we need to rent a 
 conference room for a day or so, or make a 
 reservation at a fancy restaurant for some exotic 
 drink and food? I am sure everyone has some ideas. 
 Since Lao Wen is organizing this, should we all 
 send him the suggestions and then give him the 
 authority to make the plan? I look forward to 
 seeing you all.
 
 Xu, Yan
