on Sunday, July 18th. The meeting will formally commence at 6:00 p.m.
on the 18th and end after lunch on Tuesday, July 20th. Attendees are

The ground rules for attendance and topics for discussion are as
outlined in RFC #87. Basically, each organization represented is
expected to participate by presenting one or more working papers in
one or more of the areas chosen for discussion. A minimal working
paper is defined to consist of a set of written notes and an oral
presentation. We suggest that the RFC mechanism be used to
disseminate the written working notes. I am asking that all attendees
make reservations no later than June 1st and that all RFC's and
working notes which are pertinent to this meeting be in my hand no
later than Tuesday, June 22nd. We will publish by June 25th a
bibliography of reading material pertinent to this graphic meeting and
a list of prospective attendees. Authors of working notes not
disseminated through the RFC mechanism are responsible for mailing to
each attendee a copy of his working notes no later than July 1, 1971.
Each attendee making a presentation can expect a telephone call
from me about July 5 to find how much time he wants for his
presentation. The times will be scaled appropriately to fit the
schedule.

§2Ground Rules for Attendance
The ground rules and discussion topics are those outlined in RFC 87. Each organization represented is expected to present one or more working papers in one or more of the chosen areas. A minimal working paper is a set of written notes plus an oral presentation.
The author suggests that the RFC mechanism be used to distribute the written notes. Authors who do not use it must mail a copy of their notes to each attendee by July 1, 1971.
To come, every group must bring something to share: a few written pages and a short talk.

A bibliography of reading material and a list of prospective attendees will be published by June 25th. Each presenter can expect a telephone call about July 5 to find how much time is wanted, and the times will be scaled to fit the schedule.
There is a sign-up date, a date to hand in your papers, and a phone call to decide how long each person gets to talk.
