[seek-taxon] May meeting

[Matt Jones]

Bob and Jessie,

I think Bob's idea to extend the taxon meeting is a good one. 
Unfortunately, I will be coordinating other parts of the meeting and so 
will only be able to join you on the one day that was originally 
planned.  I'll forward this to Bertram so that he knows to make sure an 
additional room is available on Tues and Wed, and I'll update the 
schedule if people agree that Tues pm through end of Thurs should be used.
