ICMA activities

w/c

During the recent ICMA General Meeting in Munich, I managed to find time to facilitate a small, but highly productive workshop for PHOENIX users. During the session, attendees were presented with the long list of activities that have taken place during the last 12 months and what is planned for 2007.
