<div>I would love to see the next IDAT conference taking place in
another continent and not in north America. It is very important that
other sensibilities and point of views would be<font size="-1"

refreshing....Lets continue talking.....Yacov Sharir</div>

&gt; Hello Keitha Manning and Scott Sutherland,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; I remember very clearly that we felt very strongly that the next
IDAT<br>
&gt; conference should be in Europe for the first time and not in
North<br>
&gt; America? Does it matter any more or? Additionally, we voted to
start<br>
&gt; an organization with a very modest membership fees, is that
idea<br>
&gt; dead? Are you or Scott&nbsp; interested in heading such an
organization?<br>
&gt; somebody has to come forward and take it or it will never get<br>
&gt; done...Looking forward to continue conversation....Yacov<br>

&gt; &gt;As the members of this list are aware, the scheduled IDAT
conference<br>
&gt; &gt;which was to take place in Surrey, England in 2001 was
cancelled.<br>
&gt; &gt;Our attempts to schedule another location in England have
been<br>
&gt; &gt;unsuccessful. So..........<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;We would like to suggest that persons who are interested in
a<br>
&gt; &gt;constructive dialog concerning IDAT please send your email
address<br>
&gt; &gt;to K.Manning@tcu.edu or scott@scottsutherland.com and we can
build a<br>
&gt; &gt;new email list to electronically discuss the future.<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;A bit of background and some questions: We have had be our
four<br>
&gt; &gt;conference over the last nine years, ('92 Madison, '93
Burnaby, '95<br>
&gt; &gt;York, '99 Tempe). Each time we gather, there is usually a
call to<br>
&gt; &gt;organize. If so, how, where, when, etc. Do we want
conferences?<br>
&gt; &gt;Where? Funds? Or, has the need for specific dance &amp;
technology<br>
&gt; &gt;conferences and/or IDAT past?<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt;It isn't necessary to be an IDAT veteran to take part in the
dialog.<br>
&gt; &gt;Your thoughts?<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
