[statecom] Update on StateCom Meeting; More responses needed

[Mike Heichman]

Hi Eli,

As of today, I can make all dates. July 21 conflicts with Chuck's 
District 7 Roundtable, so  that would be the only date that I would have 
a conflict. However, if we schedule the meeting on that date, I would go 
to the State Comm meeting.
