<div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>As discussed at the OC meeting I have made a number of changes to the program based upon feedback. The new version of the program is available here:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pm1bvJQodiW3WBYGU7MM0Og">http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pm1bvJQodiW3WBYGU7MM0Og</a><br>
</div><div><br></div><div>This includes the majority of changes with the following exceptions - happy to be shot down</div><div><br></div><div><div>1. I've opted for running all keynotes on Wednesday and Thursday because</div>
<div><ul><li>the end of Friday is a dedicated get together for everyone to attend the conference close, CCIP panel & Sol Katz Award, i felt that having a half hour keynote on the Friday was not worth it given the afternoons agenda <br>
</li><li>from experience i find attendance on the morning after the dinner can be a bit sketchy...given the previous nights festivities</li></ul></div><div>2. The following sessions will be in rooms with tutorial set ups to save room reconfiguration</div>
<div><ul><li>21/10 Parkside G03 session 11.00-11.30<br></li><li>21/10 Parkside G03 session 11.30-12.00<br></li><li>22/10 Parkside G03 session 11.30-12.00<br></li><li>22/10 Parkside G04 session 11.30-12.00</li></ul></div><div>
3. I've kept the AGM to be scheduled for the 21st from 16.30-18.00 because i think it would be better attended on the first day of the conference given that many attendees may have travel arrangements for the Friday afternoon</div>
<div><br></div><div>4. Extended the CCIP panel to 45 mins as per discussions at the last OC meeting</div><div>5. Extended conference close and Sol Katz award to 45mins</div><div><br></div><div>6. Summary</div><div><br></div>
<div>12 tutorial</div><div>94 presentations (dropped 3 presentations)</div><div><br></div><div>G03 and G04 remain primary tutorial rooms. Due to room configuration we can either:</div><div><br></div><div>a) accept a reduced capacity for a small number of presentations in these rooms (see point 2 above)</div>
<div>b) organise resources to reconfigure these rooms at the necessary times</div><div><br></div></div><div><br></div>Simon<br>
