Dear fellow AIR members,

As a break from the current discussions on teens and IM and SMS and  
all that, I have a question. Want to come to Vancouver in 2007?

I had a wonderful time at the AIR conference in Chicago last fall,  
and I am looking forward to Brisbane this fall (spring there, I  
guess). A few years ago I was at the Maastricht and Toronto AIR  
conferences and enjoyed those, as well. All of which is a preface to  
my seeming madness at what I am about to propose - hosting the next,  
next AIR (2007) in Vancouver, Canada. I think it is time to give  
something back.

I haven't done a formal proposal yet, and only spoken about it to a  
few people here in Vancouver, so if others are thinking similarly and  
are further along, let me know and I can tag along. If others think  
this is a good idea and would like to help out - please contact me  
directly (smith at sfu.ca). If you think this is a bad idea and I should  
NOT pursue it, I'd certainly like to hear about that, too!

I will be approaching the executive in the next week or so, with a  
few cost estimates and suggestions for venues. I think we can have a  
fun, interesting, and exciting conference here in Vancouver, and I  
look forward to showing you our lovely home. In the mean time,  
feedback is most welcome.
