Hello,

Here's the April 2002 EAST Report (sorry it's late).  This is my 
final report.  I will now be signing off of the delivery and 
delivery-council lists.  It has been a pleasure working with all of 
you.

Rocklyn

P.S.  I will remain on the EAST list until Tom Grayson starts 
officially on June 10 (unless I'm asked to do otherwise).

P.P.S. EAST Team please relay any corrections directly to Bob.
