[Sigmet-officers] Webmar debate

[Stasa Milojevic]

Dear Jonathan,

Thank you for moving this forward. I have a few suggestions and questions.

I think that having a webinar during a working week might bring in 
bigger audience. One possibility would be a Friday, since there are 
fewer classes on Fridays (in the US), which would mean that more faculty 
and students might be able to attend.

What format do we envision? Are these two lecture-type presentations? 
What would the role of a moderator be in that case? Who is our targeted 
audience (bibliometrics community or general IS community)?

Best,
Stasa
