To all registered X.Org Foundation Members:

Enclosed is an announcement for an open TelConf to discuss major issues 
relating to Future X.Org Releases. This announcement is being sent to the 
160 registered Members of X.Org with the approval of the Board of Directors, 
because of the importance of this issue to the Foundation.

We feel it is important to increase active participation in the discussion. 
The number listed below will support 50 participants. 

Two additional documents are being sent you, following this one. If you wish 
to attend, PLEASE READ THOSE DOCUMENTS as well as the agenda. They are 
necessary background material. 

For the many members who will not attend, we encourage you strongly to read 
the documents, and participate in email discussions of these issues (see
