Leading a discussion

Before the meeting:

• Email out the readings early.  Preferably by the weekend before the meeting.
• Email to:   mlpfull at microsoft dot com  AND caminference at yahoogroups dot com.   NOTE: yahoogroups only allows emails from registered email addresses.  Verify that the message has gone out by checking  at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/caminference/  .   If you are not registered with yahoogroups, forward it to someone else who is.
• Yahoo groups rejects large email attachments beyond 500Kb; hence, provide a link to large papers, ideally a local link to a mirrored copy.
• If you use Outlook, send the announcement as a "New Meeting Request", (shortcut key Ctrl-Shift-Q.)  Outlook recipients can then see the meeting in their calendars automatically, and other email readers can still display the message and time and location fields.
• The default meeting time is Thursday 11-12am.  If you need a different time, book the Jasmine room for any additional time (or ask Martin to do this).

For the discussion:

• We encourage two leaders per discussion topic if you can!
• PowerPoint is not required.
• Prepare questions for discussion
• Allow people to leave at noon
