[AISPC] Programme

[Mark Tinka]

Hi George.

My main question is do we want to have a single CfP for both 
the operational and political submissions?

Personally, I think they should be separate, as it will be 
harder to classify content as it comes in.

That said, an opening and closing plenary is in order.

The trick will be having rooms in which to allocate the 
various submissions which have been deemed suitable for 
acceptance. I foresee a potential squabble between 
operational and political submissions fighting for space. We 
will need to iron this out.

The CfP for the operational submissions is already with us, 
and is long overdue. It would be nice for both CfP's to go 
out at the same time, but we're already doing terribly for 
time.

Mark.
