This might be something to think about another time, - some people could perhaps, manage half a week at Convention, and the Aussie way would give them a full 2 day class.
Actually, this was tried in 2004, with the IOLI convention at Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Some people loved the new version. Some tried it and didn't like it. There was also a small but very vocal group campaigning against the new format, who 'boycotted' the convention. It was this convention that inspired the bylaw change to make the IOLI board more directly in control of some aspects of convention. Robin P.
