Program Subgroup Report:
Work done & in process:
- Workshop tracks completed and part of online workshop submission forms.
- Workshop submission forms launched along with registration January 28th (public deadline for submissions March 20).
- Work continues on backend (developing workshop tags, automatic acknowledgement of online submissions, etc). Includes ongoing work with ICT WG.
- Developing guidelines and process for reviewers (will monitor and do preliminary reviews as submissions come in, communicate with submitters as needed, communicate decisions to submitters beginning in late March, April & May).
- Will be active on Program Design Team and on 1st call Feb. 13.
Big question:
Question of # of submissions we get and # of workshop spaces per time slot (total of 9 time slots for 2-hr workshops) is huge for how this plays out. (See NPC notes from Albuquerque for 5-day walk through).) Requires immediate conversations with Logistics.
What we need:
- Looking for in-depth conversation soon with PMA about their programming and scheduling pieces.
- Looking for regular communication with Logistics WG.
- Looking to get Printed/Online Program Team in place (is Communications WG taking a lead?)
- To all WGs & committees: get the word out to get your workshop submissions in! Deadline March 20th.
