Looks good Simon.<br>
The only suggestion (which I don't feel strongly about) is that we would probably be better to drop a Tutorials slot than a Sessions slot.<br>
<br>
My gut feeling, without doing the research, is there will be more demand for Sessions than for Tutorials.<br>

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