[An-lang] Re: COOL6 - RELOCATION

[Pila Wilson]

I would like to thank John and those who worked to transition the
conference to Port Vila.  We appologize to all those who were planning to
come here to Hilo and look forward to seeing you in Vanuatu.  In the
future when conditions are more favorable, we would like to host you in
Hilo.
