Progress Report 6

Noreascon's Progress Report 6, which contains the Site Selection ballots, was mailed to Noreascon 4 members on May 20, 2004. The Columbus 2007 bid ad was accidentally omitted from that PR and can be viewed online; the Nippon 2007 ad is on page 17 of the PR. Noreascon 4 apologizes to the bidders for our mistake.
