I think we got spoiled by Bob and Lowell who had speakers lined up and scheduled months in advance. It seems Dave either fails to inform or just does not know very far in advance. The SLAS blast did seem to indicate a different topic than was delivered. There was a meeting though, although it is nice to know the topic in advance.
Every President is different, lately we seem lucky just to fill all the board positions. For the record, I had been waiting for a response to that question. I
had no idea what the listed topic of 'an important shared experience at the frontiers of theoretical cosmology' meant, so I was hoping for a little more detail, something that would tell me what was actually happening, and whether it would be worth putting aside other tasks for the evening. The responses were distinctly unhelpful. I suspect others may have felt the same way.

Just kiddin'. Siegfried got someone riled when he was asked if he knew the topic for a meeting and he jokingly said, "Yes." -- Joe

I know it's a little late but I would not have touched that one anyway. ?
