********************

SC Global is now less than 10 weeks away! So, it's now time for Satellite Sites to register. I'd love to see all AG nodes worldwide register as Satellite Sites -- we're setting up a robust infrastructure, and would like to make the best possible use of it.

Satellite Sites are AG locations which participate in an interactive, multimedia way. For
example, the people attending at Satellite Sites can ask questions through AG audio and video channels during Panels, and participate in Birds of a Feather session discussions.
Here are the steps to take to be a Satellite Site:

1) Register by September 19 at:

2) Participate in one of the "certification session" test cruises, held between September 15 and October 15. Don't let the term "certification" scare you -- these sessions are just to ensure that your network, audio, video, and related software all all up to speed, and that you're ready to participate in November. If everything works great the first time, you're done with required test cruises until November rolls around.

3) Participate in other test sessions and rehearsals as desired. We will hold some number of large-scale test cruises, and your participation will be encouraged but not required.

4) Participate in final test cruises the Friday and Monday right before SC Global. (SC Global runs November 18 - 20, 2003.)
