[Linganth] SLA at AAA

[GABRIELLA MODAN]

For the record, a member of the SLA Board did respond to my message, and said that a survey of the membership went out on the SLA list (which I somehow got unsubscribed to) and that there has been some discussion on that list also about what do with w/ the SLA sessions.
