[Sig-l] SIG IFP Proposed Sessions

[Shelly Warwick]

Here are the proposed sessions from SIG IFP. We would welcome
co-sponsorship. As of the moment I'm the organizer of all the sessions,
though I'm in the process of contacting individuals to head-up sessions
2-4.  Please let me know if you wish to co-sponsor. I see SIG III as a
co-sponsor all these sessions, as well as SIG TIS. All others are welcome.
