One idea was to have a small meeting or symposium. That has the advantage of being able to include all who are interested in one meeting/session. We talked about asking Jerry Rice if he would be interested in hosting/chairing such an event. This is to report on the results of some work along those lines. Jerry was quite enthusiastic about this idea and would welcome the opportunity to host. Informal discussions with some of the investigators indicate they would be interested also. There are a number of logistical decisions to be made--before or after the meeting, exactly who gets SH ELL-MCCLU RG-062332 invited, etc., etc. However before going to far on that, we need to ensure the Oversight Committee approves the budget expenditure that would be necessary to make this happen. Jerry looked into having the event at the conference facility on Georgetown University's campus. He has been to events there and recommends it highly. The cost is about $90-100 per person which covers food, room, AV support, etc. If there were 100 attendees, that would be about $10,000. Based on my expereince (and some others I've checked with here) that is competitive with other facilities in the Downtown Washington area. Jerry would also like to look to Bruce Jarnot for help on this. While I realize a lot needs to be worked out on this, we do need to decide whether we are willing to cover the expenses of this meeting before going much further. The Georgetown facility, or any other we would want to use, is already filling up for November. Do you think the Oversight Committee would approve spending about $10,000 to host this event? Confirming the event and arranging the details would then be left to Jerry Rice, who might also want some input from the Technical Committee. Lynn Lynn B.
