I received mine last week, and it was forwarded from my prior address. I got mine a day after everyone else in the Portland area, but I got it.

And this doesn't make me want to give up any workshop spaces (or pool time!) to go to something where I have no idea what might happen. Workshops have descriptions. These meetings are so vague in nature that there doesn't seem to be any point to plan ahead to be at them. If the planning committee wanted to put this big emphasis on this new process, why on earth did they schedule it against all of the headline workshops, that many people go to GA for in the first place? Why not eliminate a workshop slot or the random one hour Plenary on Friday night and have the initial "Domains" at a time when nothing else is going on? The scheduling this year, I think, is atrocious. The longest Plenary sessions are on Sunday, of all days. How much sense does that make? The preliminary information is scant at best.

I talked to a friend who seemed more familiar with it, and now I've got a better understanding of what its purpose is, but am definitely waiting for more information ... all I know is to show up at GA and then go to a "domain" and then ... see what happens? Am I really supposed to get more information? The First plenary session is supposed to explain it more, right? I read my material in the GA Program Guide, and was still confused about the process.
