[HOT] USAD DIV Brainstorming Sessions

[Kate Chapman]

Hi Everyone,

I'm very sorry I missed the initial brainstorming. I accidentally
marked it for tomorrow in my calendar. Let's do the 2nd brainstorming
which starts in a little under 7 hours and then do the same time that
was scheduled today but do it 24 hour later.

Thursday, 27 March 2014, 13:00:00 UTC
Friday, 27 March 2014, 00:00:00 UTC

Thanks!

-Kate
