Hi All, It looks like we will be able to get a smaller meeting room on Wednesday, March 4 at the Hilton (SIAM has all the bigger rooms booked). Pat reminded me that I'm involved in two talks on Wednesday morning, so we will be starting at 12:30 and going until we're done. The primary purpose of this meeting is to prepare for the upcoming review in April and to continue discussions on our plans for the next two year. I envision the following format for the meeting - Attendees: All senior PIs either in person or by telecon; more junior participants as we can fit them into the room - Please let me know if you are planning to attend (I'm guessing 15 attendees, but they can apparently adjust the room slightly if we need more). - Format: Short (15-20 minutes only) presentations from each site highlighting activities to date, major accomplishments and plans; followed by discussions regarding the review and planned activities/collaborations for the remaining two years of ITAPS I have been informed that we will be able to get a speaker phone, but will not have internet access. A projector is available, but expensive - does anyone have a small one that they wouldn't mind bringing to the meeting? A new Starbucks opened up a few blocks up the street. :-) Stay tuned for more information. I am leaning toward preceding this face to face meeting with a short 1 hour telecon in the mid-Feb time frame to ensure that we're all on the same page with what we need to accomplish at this meeting so that we can make the most effective use of our time possible. Also, to follow up on the first action item for the review - if you have not yet sent me your publication lists for the past 2.5 years, please do so by Monday, Jan 26. Thanks, Lori
