Interop sessions

Hi all,

We have three sessions at the IVOA Interop meeting dedicated to the Registry workgroup. In order to plan the order of work, I'd like to know if anyone has presentations which they want to make to the meeting or specific topics which they want discussed at the meeting.

I would ask that presentations last no longer than 30 mins and I'll schedule 15 mins discussion after each one. If you need more or less time for the presentation or think the discussion will last more than 15 mins let me know.

Discussion topics can ideally last for 45 mins and I would ask the proposer to prepare an agenda and to lead the session.

I would also ask that each person produce an abstract (max 100 words) to their presentation or discussion topic which I can post on the wiki and a one-page position paper. Both of these need to be with me by the end of 18th May so that I can post them to the wiki and attendees have time to read them.

Please get your proposals to me by 30th April so I can draft a plan for the sessions and post to the list. I'll want the abstracts by 7th May so I can post the schedule and abstracts to the wiki and, as I said, the position papers by 18th May.

If there are any of the sessions you cannot make because of commitments to other workgroups, let me know and I'll avoid scheduling you in those sessions but I'd like to schedule the majority of the presentations in the first session (or second) so the latter time is free for standards discussion and resolution.

Thanks,
Tony.
