Subject: Re: Meeting at NESCent?

Dear Bob,

 	I am happy to say that NESCent has an open door policy for externally 
funded meetings.  We will also be happy to help with logistics such as 
coordinating transportation to and from hotels and the like.  Also, if you book 
your rooms through NESCent, we have a wonderfully reduced rate at the Durham 
Millenium hotel.

 	I also very much enjoyed seeng you again, and have given a great deal 
of thought to the importance of formalizing the ontology of species concepts.

    All the best!
