Though, I couldn't attend this Convention but I'm aware of the problems faced by the organizers and in this perspective, I fully agree to what you explained. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kotian, H P" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2008 12:31 PM Subject: [AI] Convention feedback

All the > feedbacks which kept pouring in the last session was very positive. > > 3) dearth of volunteers: > I agree , this could have been better and something to work on in future > > 4) the lousy preparation in terms of broadcasting this convention : > > I am afraid, I can't take this. Firstly I had not made any promisses on it > and offered to make an attempt on reaching there.

I am in fact happy our programme hostess did > not allow any session to get choked which usually takes place in such > presentations and judiously intervened when ever required. Keeping sensitive > to participants request she also gave an additional slot obliging requests > made to her. Comming particularly to your session, it was very unfortunat > that incidently your session got scheduled on the last part of the day and we > had to clos in as members had to take their journey back. I can assure it was > not intended and was only incedental. > > 6)time management: > I don't think we fared badly on that as no time was wasted between sessions. > Things went smoothly and good enough time was given to speakers and Q&A > > Finally, a negative feedback from my side which was not reported by anyone: > > I did not spend time with participants, I could say only hi and with many I > could not do even that. > > My profound appology on that and I shall not make anyattempt to give any > excuses. I certainly failed on that, I am aware of it and feel extremely > guilty about it. All I can ask to be excused and I am confident our members > shall with a big heart bear with me for any short commings, lapses or > anything which made them unhappy. > > I hope on the positive side this convention proved benificial to some and was > worth coming over and organising it in the first place. > > Yours > Harish. > > Notice: This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and > intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are > addressed.
