[App_rpt-users] Announcement: Statement regarding the changes to AllStarLink

[Dan Tana]

I would also like to see all the proxy's and who was in attendance at this
meeting.  Why is everything so cryptic?  This reminds me of the original
PTTlink emails that use the term Admin team only for us to find out later
that Stacy was the only volunteer on the Admin team.
