Nancy,
I agree that having the blank sign-up sheets on site is the way to go and 
the line-up looks good.

Subject:
Roundtables schedule



OK, we're up against deadlines for the program (must go to printers this 
week) and here's what we have proposed, based on expression of interest.
We have taken into account the fact that certain sessions cannot take 
place at the same time... AND we've checked the list of people who should 
be in the Executive Board meeting to make sure none of them had signed up 
for the second session (because the board meeting will be opposite Session 
2).  In the attached file, ignore the parenthetical 'checkbox' - that 
refers to the database name of that field.

There was a suggestion for signup sheets at the registration table that 
would be pre-populated by what people had checked off on the registration 
form.  I suggest that everyone would be better served by blank signup 
sheets.  If you look carefully at the attachment, you will see that a 
number of people signed up for many sessions - and you can only attend 2. 
The registration form asked people to 'select discussions you are 
interested in so we can arrange rooms'.  In my opinion, we really should 
have said something about only 2 simultaneous discussions will be 
occurring so people weren't misled into thinking that they could 
participate in as many as they wanted.  Yes, it was in the program, but 
not on the form. 
But the signup sheets aren't my immediate concern - the schedule is. 

If you have objections to this schedule, please voice them by tomorrow 
afternoon.  If you think any should be canceled before we send this to the 
printer, let me know.
