Update for those that are interested...
I will not be the person leading this call. I agreed to take on the topic back in April (the last month I was under contract as an SM), but did not know the call was scheduled for the day before kickoff - yikes - until this past week. I tried to clear my schedule and make it happen, but family commitments and the fact that I'm spending every free moment trying to ensure a smooth FTC kickoff on Wednesday have swallowed up any possibility of me participating. I informed FIRST by email and phone that my GDC duties would have to take priority and I provided them with 5 possible solutions/alternatives on early Friday AM.

Stay tuned ... if you hear nothing then I'd assume the call will still go on as scheduled.
