At the last ITANA steering committee we discussed the possibility of a mid-term ITANA f-2-f workshop (April or May). Below is a sketch of what such a workshop might look like. Before investing any further resources in planning, we would like to know if this is something that would interest you. If you have the time, could you please email one of the following responses to me (lfernig2@mail.ubc.ca)

\[if \!supportLists\]1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \[endif\]Yes. I would definitely attend.&nbsp; My preferred venue would be (see below).

\[if \!supportLists\]2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \[endif\]Maybe.&nbsp; There is a 50/50 chance, but I would need to know more about location and times

\[if \!supportLists\]3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \[endif\]No. My professional development budget would not cover this\\

Lastly, and most importantly, would you be willing to host this workshop?
