Greetings! It is that time of the year to begin thinking about the upcoming conference and the manner in which we capture the pertinent information from the conference… the conference proceedings. If you are the moderator of a panel, plenary or askArlis session you need to find a recorder and have the follow the enclosed guidelines. Ditto if you are the moderator or chair of a division, section, roundtable or committee. Who does not need to submit a conference report: if you do not fall under the categories list below, you do not need to submit anything. All reports should be in either MicrosoftWord or ascii text, attached to an email and sent to me via email. When identifying someone to write up the report PLEASE make sure they will be able to actually follow the instructions for getting the reports to either yourself or me. The deadline for reports is May 15, 2001. -------Guidelines--------- All Panel, AskArlis, and Plenary sessions should have a person who is responsible for recording the session. The moderator(s) of each session are responsible for ensuring that someone has been identified to record the session prior to the beginning of the annual conference, if possible. Conference reports should include the following information: Session moderator(s) Session sponsor(s) Name and date (not day) of session Speakers and their institutions or affiliations A summary of each speaker’s presentation and the URL’s for any web sites given A summary of the question and answer session Moderators/Chairs of Divisions, Sections, Roundtables and Committees are responsible for ensuring that the minutes from their annual business meetings are forwarded to the conference proceedings editor. These moderators are also responsible for ensuring that someone has been identified to record the minutes. Minutes from business meetings should include the following information: Name and date of the DSRT or Committee meeting Names of officers, outgoing and incoming Discussion of old and new business and any resultant decisions.
