<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hello All:<br>
<br>
It seems the consensus is definitely to not have competition during the
round-table discussions. I think I have a solution. Dedicate 9:15 - 10:15 a.m.
on Friday morning, after the first round of sessions, to round-table
discussion. There's a 15 minute break before and a 15 minute break on either
end, after and before the previous and next round of workshops. This would seem
to provide adequate dedicated time for networking and round-table discussion.
And by Friday, folks might welcome a break from the workshops.<br>
<br>
Having it during lunch on Thursday, as per Jon's and Hadi's suggestion, also
seems workable but I'd like to keep the keynote lunch as it is this year. But
perhaps this is the way to go next year.<br>
<br>
Let me know what you think. The next step is to identify round-table topics and
someone to perhaps lead or at least facilitate discussion. After all, we don't
want anarchy. :-)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Howard<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>I am all for doing this, but they should be separate from
presentations<br>
so people don't have to choose. And if the conference can be extended<br>
by a day on the front end, then I can get two weeks in Colorado<br>
straight, as the Educause Conference I need to attend this year is in<br>
Boulder, as well, the week before AHG.<br>
<br>
Yes, that's quite selfish on my part, but I'd rather not fly home in<br>
between, instead use my weekend to learn to ski or something else<br>
equally useful. (No snarky comments from the peanut gallery, if you<br>
please!)<br>
