Summit
Agenda
Updated November 25 pm, 2002
How the Agenda is Set Some
have asked us why the agenda isn't finalized ahead of time. The
answer is that this is a "summit meeting" and not a regular
conference. Our agenda is framed around the ideas and projects
that the participants wish to showcase. We are clustering the
presentations and building the agenda around them. For
each issue cluster, the presenters will have 3 - 5 minutes to
highlight their project or organization, and then remain at the front as
an ad hoc panel to respond to the discussion that follows. In
addition, we will have several presentations of research data and
reports. The updated agenda follows. Remember, there's still time
to add your group to the list of presenters!
