There has been problems with the conference call, sorry, and it is long distance.  As an alternative, we will have a Google + “hangout” during the WGN Task Force meetings for people who can’t attend. To participate in a hangout you must have a free Gmail account and a free upgrade to Google +.  Below are links to help. If you need further assistance, email me Bob Crego.
