➢ General schedule for first day of Global Congress

o Plenary session, all three symposia together from 7:45 till break, each symposium will contribute speaker for plenary session, Hendershot/Murphy are the 11a contribution to plenary lead-off

o Three symposia will split off after AM break. First LPS session will have 4 papers after break, including John Davenport LPS history as lead-off.

o Rest of symposium should follow our normal format (not discussed on call, but I believe that the intent remains to hold the last, case histories, session jointly for all three symposia

➢ Status of abstracts/manuscripts

o Clark… session is full, no manuscripts yet

o Lodal… session is full, no manuscripts yet

o Grossel… 6 accepted, 3 manuscripts in hand

o Dunbobbin… 6 abstracts, no manuscripts yet

o Hanauska… 6 abstracts, many extras… offer poster opportunities?

o Murphy… has a surplus of abstracts, anticipates will have a BP paper

➢ Dennis Hendershot is coordinating the luncheon speakers. Each symposium has the option of providing one speaker. Dave Clark will contact DuPont corporate safety executive to determine interest in speaking.

o PTP entry by authors by 11/14… basis for programs at conference

o Draft manuscripts to chairs by 12/1

o Final manuscripts to chairs by 1/15

o Final manuscripts to Erdem by Jan 22

➢ A suggestion was made to more aggressively market the concept of a poster session, provide opportunities for the submitters of excess manuscripts, provide pool from which to draw papers if an author does not come through. Dennis Hendershot will pursuer this idea.

o Walt Frank, safety culture,

o Bob Johnson, reactives (not Sunday… maybe Thurs)

o Vahid Ebadat or Larry Britton, electrostatics

Dennis will follow up with Ebadat/Briton to se if either are interested, and then will forward list to AIChE meetings staff

➢ Pre-conference meeting will be 7:00 PM Sunday, Wednesday meeting TBD

➢ Dave Clark is still soliciting short (1 to 2 page) write-ups from 11a “old hands,” focusing on LPS history, for inclusion in the proceedings

• It was agreed that we would follow the standard AICHE deadlines for abstract and paper submittals next year (2007 LPS), rather than continuing to follow our accelerated schedule (which was a legacy from the days when we printed our own proceedings book independent of AIChE)…

• Voting for LPS logo contest:

➢ 0, 2, 8, 0, and 4 votes for options 1, 2, 3, 4 or “none”…
