2. New Information and Proposals:
1. Amber, Colin, and Elizabeth had a conference call on July 31 to create a
timeline and task list. To see the document we created, click here for the
Google Doc or here for the Scribd version
2. The second weekend November seems to work best for people.
3. Emily and Eliz. propose a target number of between 50-60 participants.
4. After reviewing ORCC's budget and looking at the approximate costs for the
conference, Emily and Elizabeth think that we have probably have the
capacity to support a conference beginning on Friday, November 13 at lunch
time and running through lunch on Sunday, November 15.
1. Elizabeth and Emily G. estimate the total cost of the conference to
be around $13,000. ORCC will probably contribute some of that,
but we don't know how much. Difference would have to be made up
in student fees and donations.
