Robina and others
The proposal for the RDA session sounds good to me, too. I have enough stuff from the RDA presentations at the London meeting, plus my own, to put together the RDA p-p-f (I think we'll need to present the parallel-track futures for both RDA and DC before going on to London meeting and collaborative/convergent futures).
Cheers.
Gordon

Gordon,
I'll keep your flight schedules in mind when I start feeling sorry
for myself somewhere over the North Pole.

I agree with this approach--I think a lot of folks will be very
interested in how this is going forward and what they can expect if
they're working in a "mixed" environment.

I think the past-->present-->future + discussion will be just right.
