Establishment of a Conference Selection Committee: David Packer stressed that our mode of operation should involve more committees doing groundwork and then making recommendations to the Policy Council. This would increase the quality of the discussion within the PC meetings considerably and result in better decisions. For Conference decisions, Andreas Groessler, VP Meetings, should pick a set of people to do this in the future. [Link to 2008 Winter Meeting of the Policy Council]
The Conference Selection Committee has already been formed. Members are Andreas Größler, Bob Eberlein, Jim Lyneis, and Roberta Spencer.[Link to 2009 Winter Meeting of the Policy Council]
