They have picked a lot of there key staff already. It
wouldn't make sense for us to try to run the thing or
second guess their decisions. I don't think that's what
David had in mind. The Board already has approval power 
over the acceptance of any finacial obligations. The
structure of the convention and the budget are subject to
Board approval.

So I guess I have to agree with  what you're saying, Erik.
It's  good to have some strong connections but important to
allow them to execute their own plan (espeicailly since we
will have approved it).

Also, let's note that, while everyone agrees that this year
was a smash. Next year won't be just like it even if we
tried to make it so.  I don't mean not a smash -- I mean it
will be a somewhat diff kind of show. It will be made by
diff personalities, different geography, diff speakers,
etc.
