Instead, we're going to have a bunch of small workshops where groups brainstorm about solutions to some of the challenges we face, research those solutions, and come up w/ recommendations.  If there is a particular area that you'd like to lead a workshop / session on, please note it.  Also feel free to add workshop topics.
