Kristen Suchor told me that our application for standing group status had been received, but that was all. Probably take a while on that one.

Okay--I got that one too.
But what do you think we do, then? Submit a proposal for a featured session and just assume it will all be cleared up in time? I'm happy to check with Kristen on that one, if you're not sure.

Just confirming my plan to be one of the roundtable leaders at the
Caucus (on journal policies). I am particularly following the trend
of "chilling effects".
I won't be able to participate on the featured panel or in the
workshop, but I would assume that the IP Caucus will have a featured
session. i.e., I think that we should have a featured session ready.
And I agree with Charlie that a roundtable on different aspects of
"openness" makes a lot of sense for bringing in the larger CCCC
membership.
My 2 cents,
Karen

Hi,
I didn't make it to the Caucus this year, sorry, but it sounded like a good one, as always. I was at CCCC, but I just couldn't get there until Wed. night. I would be glad to serve on whatver role you would need me to, Kyle, and everybody else. I'll certainly be able to attend it since it's in Indy.
I haven't been checking my gmail account in the last month, however, so if I'm totally late to the conversation here, please forgive that. I've been switching emails and locations in the last year a lot, so sometimes it's hard to keep track of. This past Sunday, however, as I was looking at this other Google Group I'm a member of, I realized that I was stiill on this IP one. So, I will be more faithful about checking it. Lately, because I'm in Boston, it's been a little crazy, to say the least. Meanwhile, I can connect with members of the Boston Rhetoric and Writing Network to see if anyone is interested in helping out for next year, if IP is in their interest area. It is still on my radar, so that's all good.
