[Air-l] possible panel/bof/roundtable on space

[Annette Markham]

About the panel/roundtable/bof (Birds of a Feather) on space:

Might be interesting to try to do more than a single roundtable.  Last 
year, the turnout for the qualitative methods roundtable was so good, we 
all wished we a) had a longer time slot or b) had a follow up roundtable.

What about organizing two "Birds of a Feather" sessions early in the 
conference (which hopefully won't be relegated to the crack of dawn part of 
the day.....), followed by a roundtable late in the conference that brings 
it together?

In the spirit of dialogue, the nature of the roundtable discussion would 
emerge from the BOF sessions.  The emergent format might yield shorter 
opening statements and therefore more discussion, something Lori Kendall 
mentioned which I agree with (my logic is that participants will have 
altered their thinking by engaging in dialogue earlier, so they won't have 
as much prepared, but I could be completely wrong in this line of thought)
