Re: proposed agenda:
novak is not coming
Here is a first draft proposed agenda. The bulk of the meeting will take the following format: will ask each of the scientists to prepare a 30-45 min talk about the key questions they are thinking about, or that they feel are driving their specific field. Following each there will be 15-30 min of discussion. On Sunday after these there will be a 1 hour open discussion session in the morning to talk about other ideas of interest, and then in the late afternoon, a final open future planning session for 1 hour.
Thoughts?
