> On accommodations: please reserve your room early
> ------------------------------------------
>
> We have not reserved a block of rooms for this meeting, however we have negotiated a discount rate at one of the hotels.  Though there are several hotels convenient to the meeting location, we strongly recommend that you reserve your rooms early in order to be able to take advantage of this discount. (for example, before September).

> On changes to the AC Meeting structure
> ------------------------------------------
>
> As you know, five task forces convened by the CEO are working on presentations and plan to present proposals during TPAC 2010. We expect this to be a significant opportunity for the Membership to participate in strategic discussions and therefore plan two changes to the AC meeting structure compared to TPAC 2009:
>
>    1. The AC meeting would begin Tuesday early afternoon rather than Tuesday evening.
>    2. The week before TPAC, we would hold a briefing teleconference so that (1) more people can attend, (2) people can hold internal discussions to help prepare for more efficient face-to-face time, and (3) to expose any issues that require task force clarification before the AC meeting.
>
> In the registration form, we ask for your feedback on the idea of a remote briefing.
