Bruce, thanks for your thoughts. As a registrar (not to mention Council chairman) I am not surprised you had little down time. The priorities for the four user constituencies will be different. I do agree with you that being clear about the objective of a meeting will be key in timetabling that meeting. It may also be useful to distinguish between meeting planners and meeting participants. A meeting planner does not need to attend the meeting itself. That may help the HR issue you mention. Better advance planning, enforced cut-off dates, clear lines of responsibility and clarity of purpose will also help. Philip
