Hello. A new version of the convention program will be available soon on the ajl website. This is pretty much the schedule you can expect at the convention, barring any presenter having a sudden change of plans. Due to some presenters' scheduling needs, some sessions which previously had three presenters now have two, and vice versa. Please verify the number of presenters in your session. As I mentioned in a previous e-mail, when there are two presenters, each person will have 30 minutes. When there are 3 presenters, each person has 20 minutes.
A note to session chairs: As most of you know, the job of the chair is to make sure that everything runs smoothly, i.e. starting on time and ending on time; briefly introducing each speaker; making sure the speakers stay within the allotted time; coordinating the question and answer period, which follows the last speaker. You should give a five minute warning to each speaker, so that he or she knows that it is time to complete the presentation. To assist you in preparing your introductory remarks about the speakers, you will find the list of presenter biographies on the AJL website. If you need more information about a speaker who is not an AJL member, please contact me for the presenter's e-mail address. I think that we have a very interesting program this year. I want to thank all of the presenters and chairs for agreeing to participate. I look forward to seeing you in Cambridge. Jim Rosenbloom Chair, Programming Committee James P.
