Session Title

Johan/Secretariat talk

Discussion about fee waivers: In Europe the policy is that retirees/students fee are not waived. Other regions may differ(?) Visa issue discussion: original letters required in some cases; but it’s case by case, and one must check embassy web sites to be sure about requirements for original documents, etc.

Takashi/presentation management

''Question: Johan: should we have a status flag in SPMS if presentation has been checked or not? (this was a request for SPMS development…)"
''Question: Chris & Jana: Separate AR from speaker prep?"
''Action/Answer: Takashi said that from his perspective there was no problem; the light from the

windows in the room did not impact the screens, etc., and author interactions with AR did not impact PM workflow."

Sue/Author Reception

''Question: David: What happened with final hard copy papers?"
'' Action/Answer: (Returned all of them to ESS, but they were sent to the bin after a few weeks as it was clear they would"
''Question: Johan: how many dot boards? [A: One outside AR and near main auditorium.]"
''Question: Chris: Separation of AR and presentation management?"
"Action/Ansewr: Sue said the only issue was the student training sessions on Monday being a bit noisy, but after that

no issues with cohabitation."
