2007 institute course

[Jeff Good]

Hello everyone,

Sorry for my delay in responding to this. But I'm finally getting  
around to it because Peter Sells just e-mailed me and Lenore Grenoble  
about our plans for the 2007 Institute. (I'd gotten in touch with him  
some months ago about it.)

No news yet--but I've asked him how many instructors he might be  
willing to fund. When we hear back, we can see what extra funding we  
might want to look for.
