pTLA request for ITESM (www.itesm.mx) - review closes 9 June

[Federico Andrade]

Hi friends,

         The Monterrey Institute of Technology (ITESM) has been working 
hard to promote the use of technological tools for education and research 
in Mexico and LatinAmerica. Congratulations and keep the good work.

         I support the request also.

                                         Federico@NTTMCL.
