A preliminary schedule is attached below. Some things on this schedule are unlikely to change (i.e., mealtimes, coffee break, and the field trip). However, in the interest of permitting discussion and debate where appropriate, we'd like the rest of the schedule to remain somewhat flexible. The composition of the working groups, and their goals, will be discussed on the first morning of the meeting.
