Reminders

  1. Please reserve your hotel room soon! Space is filling up! Around half of you have booked so far. The official cutoff date is March 29th (an update from the previously announced December 15th deadline). If you won’t need a room, please email us your commuting plans so we can make sure to reserve the right number of parking passes and Metro shuttles.
  2. Please pay your conference fee by Friday, January 29th (unless this has been waived). To date, about 40% of non-waived delegates have paid—thank you. Within the next few weeks we need to get to at least 75% to ensure we have an adequate catering budget for this event (or we’ll all be eating peanut butter sandwiches!).
  3. Keep reviewing your tutorials and let us know if you have any recommendations for additional materials to circulate. Tutorial 1 was emailed in early December, and Tutorial 2 will be sent to you next week. You will receive five tutorials in all.
  4. Consider having your institution provide long-term support for OSI. The planning committee’s goal—and you probably feel the same way—is to establish a broad network of robust participation and ownership for this effort. Contributions can be made via PayPal, the nSCI fundraising platform, or check. Thank you to UNESCO, the PressForward Institute, and to delegates John Dove and Dee Magnoni for their generous support to date.
  5. Submit your nominations for the host institution for OSI2017. Planning will get underway in late April, pending a vote of the full delegate assembly.
  6. Optional: Submit a poster proposal. Is your organization working on something that you’d like to share with other delegates? Bring a poster and do some show and tell!
  7. Optional: Submit an expanded profile for inclusion on the OSI website. Profiles should include a 100-word byline, photo, a link to your full online bio, and your preferred contact information.

All questions and submissions can go to the same email address — [email protected]. Thank you!

Revised workgroup assignments

Based on your responses, the organizing committee has modified the first draft of OSI2016 workgroup assignments. In this process, we have shuffled around about 15% of delegates in an effort to maintain balance within and between workgroups. Delegates who didn’t make a selection were assigned to a group. To review the complete list of workgroup choices and descriptions, please visit http://osinitiative.org/2016-agenda/.

If your name is missing from this list or if your assignment is incorrect or undesirable, please let us know at [email protected].

Guidelines for workgroup and at-large delegates will be circulated soon, and group members will be connected via email.

Thank you all and best regards,
