<span style='color:black'>Michael Zedd presented slides detailing his very
thorough search of western sites for the conference, as well as his
collaboration with Carolyn Bryson of Helms-Briscoe to obtain costs for
identical services offered among the top selected property in four locations.
Out of the many choices of sites/facilities, as well as their dates of
availability, the strong consensus of the Committee was to have the conference
in Sedona on February 11-15. (Very little committee meeting time was used to
discuss this topic because much material was passed to the members and their
early preferences recorded via e-mails since the August 2004 meeting.)</span>

Shannon Coffey reported on the website & software for conference administration

(and later final papers), technical chairs to create sessions and assign papers
to sessions, and session chairs to download papers in their session. Shannon gave
a demonstration of the on-line abstract submittal aspect of the system. He
walked through a series of HTML screens which the user would see. This website
should reduce the workload for both General Chairs and Technical Chairs.</span></p>
