If all are in agreement I will send out another call- with the extended deadline next week. Martha >>> [log in to unmask] >>> We have had 6 contributed paper abstracts so far (5 in the last 2 days). I support extending the deadline to the end of July.

It just seems to me that the earlier submission deadline was based on a paper/mail world, where whoever the reviewers were had to have things mailed to them and mail them back to a central point. With online submission and email communications & attachments, you don't need to allow that much time. If we set the extended deadline to the end of July, say Friday the 28th, and gave the reviewers 2 weeks to look them over (until Aug11) and get back to people, and then we (LAC) got the final list by Aug 18th, we'd still have plenty of time. Those of you with more experience should speak up - and loudly - if I'm being way too optimistic with my timing. The preliminary program for the registration packet is, after all, preliminary, and doesn't have to include all the individual paper & poster titles - just the times for the sessions. We just need things in time to do the final program, and make sure everything has room to occur. How many submissions for each activity do we have as of today? Contributed papers? Posters? (Vicki said 3) Roundtables? TechExpo? Just remember to include the poster size in the reminder to the deadline extension, please! The things we really need firmed up in order to put up the registration are the Roundtable Topics (if you want those available as sign-ups) and the Continuing Education offerings. Again, if I'm off in my estimates of how much time we need on our end, let me know!

Tim >>> [log in to unmask] 06/12/06 12:03 PM >>> What are your thoughts on this? What has been done in the past? We only have three submissions to date. Vicki -----Original Message----- From: Sherry White [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 11:05 AM To: Vicki de Yampert Subject: Posters Vicki, We were wondering if we are bound by the June 15 deadline for posters. I just came up with an idea yesterday, and Craig Elam likes it. He felt that you would take submissions a little later, if requested. I will see if we can do this idea. It would be a survey. I think it is more appropriate as a poster, rather than a contributed paper. I wasn't even thinking about presenting anything, but something just popped into my head! Sherry Sherry L.
