The roundtables are never enough to come away with much of an action plan, and we meet so seldom in person. Even without a specific agenda I'd say additional time is a good idea, barring any prior commitments I'll be at whatever you schedule Henry.<br>

All,<br>

We will have a roundtable or two at GDC this year. So my question is
about something else that is completely optional: is there any need for
an "off-book" meeting of the SIG or some sub-group of the SIG at GDC?
Jason Della Rocca has a couple of rooms that can be scheduled for
this. His note follows; just let me know if you think we should book
a room for anything.<br>

<div style="font-family: -moz-fixed; font-size: 13px;" lang="x-western">Hi
all,
<br>
<br>
As usual, the IGDA is assigned a fixed pair of roundtable rooms that we
can using during GDC week. And, we also have the usual IGDA booth in
the lobby area.
<br>
<br>
You are all welcome to book additional time in those rooms based on SIG
needs. Mind you, given we refactored all our roundtables to be "SIG
meetings", not sure how needed this is. But, perhaps you just want your
steering committee to meet, or a specific project team, etc. Up to you.
<br>
<br>
See the attached xls file for the current availability.
<br>
<br>
If you want a time slot, let me know and I'll pencil you in.
<br>
<br>
Regards,
<br>
Jason<br>
