M.Allen@exchange.curtin.edu.au 01/09/03 09:27PM >>> Dear all

you will by now have seen the call for papers for the IR v4 conference 'Broadening the Band' in Toronto, 2003. As Program chair, I wish to invite members of the Air-list to nominate to act as reviewers of proposals. A reviewer will need to reviewer a number of 700-word abstracts, provide basic feedback, according to set criteria. A reviewer will also provide assistance to the sub-chairs responsible for groups of papers in finalising their recommendations for inclusion in the program. This work will need to be done in March. There is an interactive website that will be used for managing the review process (the other side of the conference submission website :) ). I expect that, with a longer abstract, we will actually make the job a little easier (if slightly more time), because there will be more substance on which to choose for or against a paper. I note that, in particular, we will need some reviewers fluent in French; and we will need reviewers for creative/aesthetic presentations as well as more traditional scholarly papers. Reviewers will shortly be able to join a specialised mailing list aircon through which all review/program business will be conducted. To this end, please reply to me directly m.allen@curtin.edu.au using the subject line AOIR conference reviewer providing a brief (50 word) description of your interests and nominating one or two of the following topic areas which we are using to manage the review process (note - these are not streams :) ) Communities and Interaction Digital aesthetics Economics and Commerce Ethics, Law, Policy Gaming Globalisation/Localisation Histories Identities and Diversity Informatics Media and Communication Politics/(In)Equality Research methods, metrics, approaches Social Uses and Consequences Surveillance, Privacy, Security Teaching / Learning / Education Technologies and Infrastructures Theories / Philosophies Finally, if you are interested in taking on the more substantial responsibility of sub-chair for a particular topic/area, please indicate that too; if you can think of a suitable colleague who might not have received this email who would like to be involved, feel free to forward it to them. Best wishes Matthew Allen Program Chair, IRv4, Broadening the Band, Toronto 2003 _______________________________________________ Air-l mailing list Air-l@aoir.org http://www.aoir.org/mailman/listinfo/air-l
