Hello Sonia, Hello Becky, Please allow me to join this conversation! I think holding a meeting in Montreal so that AoIR members can meet informally is a wonderful idea and I would like to offer our help to organize it. I co-direct a research lab (LabCMO - Laboratory on computer-mediated communication) and I know that our members share many interests with fellow AoIR scholars. Some of them will be in Phoenix in October and would welcome the opportunity to meet other AoIR members in Montreal. As our offices are mainly located at UQAM (the IAMCR site), our members are familiar with its surroundings and could point out a great location for the event in this area. I am sure they would also enjoy sharing Montreal’s and Quebec’s best kept secrets! AoIR has always been very welcoming to our members in the past (professors and students alike). Giving back by helping organizing this event is the least we could do! Please let me know if you need any help. Sincerely, Guillaume -----Message d'origine----- De : Becky Lentz <roberta.lentz@mcgill.ca> Date : mardi 26 mai 2015 09:52 À : Air-L Liste AoIR <air-l@listserv.aoir.org> Objet : [Air-L] AOIR meetup at IAMCR in Montreal this July?
Picking up on Sonia¹s post, I¹ve set up a Doodle poll to see who might be available and interested in a face-to-face meetup in Montreal in July to brainstorm about a potential AOIR convergence at the 2016 WSF in Montreal. In Montreal, happy hour is called a Cinq à sept (or 5-7pm), so I¹ve taken the liberty to add that as well as a lunch time for possibilities: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinq_%C3%A0_sept

Great point. Just to say that I won't be at AoIR sadly but if there's going to be folk meeting at IAMCR in Montreal (as I think raised in an earlier message?) I would love to join the conversation ftf. I will even have drafted my paper on the 'one in three' (subtext: the days of imagining internet governance primarily as in the interests of privileged white adults must be firmly put behind us)
Best, Sonia
