From the Commissioner - Winter Meeting

Several things . . .
  1. I have not heard from anyone regarding dropping out of the league. So I am very happy to proceed with the same teams and owners as last season. If for some reason, your intentions have changed and you just haven't gotten around to letting me know, please let me know ASAP.
  2. Looking ahead at possible fantasy draft dates, the season starts Sunday April 5th, with the first full slate of games on Monday April 6th. The best case scenario would have us doing the draft one of the days during that first week of the season, Monday April 6 through Friday April 10. Please check your schedules, and if at all possible keep as much flexibility as possible for that week. Thanks.
  3. Winter Meeting - I am planning to hold the Winter Meeting during the last two weeks of February, exact date TBD. In an effort to boost owner participation, I am planning to do a Live Blog Meeting here. At the arranged date and time, owners will be come here and then enter comments in a comment field while reading other owners comments. John (Astronauts) will be handling the installation of the appropriate software that should allow us to communicate in real time. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this approach.
  4. If you have any agenda items for the Winter Meeting, please send them to me. I will make another more official call out for agenda items in the next 1-2 weeks.
That's all for now. Again, please take a look at the week of April 6-10 for our potential draft date.
Thanks,
David
