This year's conference will include Informal Discussion Groups (formerly known as Networking Nodes). The purpose of these discussion groups is to promote interaction among NASIG attendees who have a shared interest in a topic, idea, workflow, problem... In order to reemphasize open discussion and the generation of ideas for next year's program, the Program Planning Committee has reintroduced the original name for these sessions.

Informal Discussion Groups will take place on Saturday, May 6th, 12:00-1:00pm. The Program Planning Committee invites suggestions for topics to be considered by these groups and would like to hear from any conference attendee who would like to facilitate an Informal Discussion Group. The person facilitating the Informal Discussion Group must be registered for the full
conference.

Please send your Informal Discussion Group suggestions or volunteer to lead a group by contacting Rachel Frick at Rfrick@richmond.edu .The deadline for this call for topics and volunteers is March 10, 2006.
