[ADMB Users] ADMB meeting in Iceland, 8-11 Sep 2013

[Laurie]

Hi

I would love to come as your agenda covers many/all of the high priority 
software issues we are addressing in the tuna RFMO MSE WG. However, on 
those dates ICCAT will be conducting the North Atlantic swordfish 
assessment so I will be otherwise occupied.

Can we talk about potential longterm collaboration?

Laurie
