Hello

We talked in DC about the possibility of doing a joint conference on the Friday before the BA meeting.  Most people seemed favorably inclined.  It would be pretty easy to organize, and there are various options, the path of least resistance being for the three CSG constituencies + NCUC NPOC and NCSG to each organize their own one hour session with some thematic coordination, perhaps complemented by a keynoter, lunch and reception.  Alternatively, we could compress it to just an afternoon thing, but then would have to decide how to divide up the time and participation.

If we are serious about pursing this, budget requests are due 28 February.  In which case it might make sense for the respective groupings to discuss it a bit at their Constituency Day meetings in order to identify their preferred topic and designate someone to help with the budget request.  If instead people are having second thoughts, please let the rest of us know so we can consider whether to proceed on a different basis.

Thanks

Bill
