One correction to the agenda. For the IRV workshop in the Sat 1-2 pm slot, it would be best if the title of the IRV workshop was changed to reflect that this is an ORGANIZING workshop, about how to work to get IRV in your local area. It is NOT a workshop about "what is IRV", ABCs of IRV, etc. I would suggest a title more like the following: "Organizing workshop: How to win Instant Runoff Voting in your local area": Steven Hill, Center for Voting and Democracy That's a bit longer, I realize, but whenever possible the title should be something more along those lines. Thanks.
