[Talk-us] Locations for State of the Map US 2014

[Kathleen Danielson]

If we're going to be getting proposals from folks, I think I'd like to see
that within a week, so 11/20 at the latest. We're moving very quickly on
our end to come up with viable solutions, so I don't want to delay. I hope
you understand!
