[A reminder of the extension of the deadline for submission of AoIR 
4.0 conference proposals to March 10. The call for papers is at 
http://www.ecommons.net/aoir/cfp.html. A slight clairification is 
re-posted below. Thank you, Sj]

There have been some questions concerning limits to conference 
submissions. In the interest of allowing for breadth of 
participation, AoIR's intention is to allow multiple submissions, but 
limit to:

One acceptance in each of the two categories below, determined after review:

1) paper proposal (main author)
2) panel proposal (organizer)

There is no limit to the number of times a person may:

3) be part of paper proposal(s) as co-author
4) serve as panel chair/discussant
5) serve as panel, roundtable or other non-panel event participant

Furthermore, while we would like to keep the length of proposals 
reasonable so that reviewers may read proposals in a timely fashion, 
it is true as Jeremy noted in a previous email that the online 
proposal system allows for every paper, including those in panels, to 
be up to 700 words, and that each panel description can have 700 
words for itself - this means that a panel with 4 papers could have 
3500 words (5 parts, proposal and 4 papers, each of 700 words). 
However, I do encourage panel organizers to keep as close as possible 
to the limits expressed in the call for papers: The panel organizer 
should submit an approximately 500 word statement describing the 
session topic, include abstracts of up to 250 words for each paper or 
presentation (e.g., 1000 words for four papers).

NOTE: Given this need for clarification, the conference submission 
deadline is extended until MARCH 10, 2003.

If there are any additional questions please contact me or Conference 
Program Co-Chair Matthew Allen (M.Allen at exchange.curtin.edu.au), or 
for questions about the online submission system contact Jeremy 
Hunsinger (jhuns at vt.edu).

Thank you,
