[Sigmet-officers] second draft of workshop proposal

[Smalheiser, Neil R]

Thanks for the detailed comments from all of you. I have corrected the description of 2017's workshop, and corrected the proposed date to Nov. 10 (first day of the conference).

I took out entirely the proposed fees. They were in last year's proposal, but since we don't set the fees, I did not put in any numbers at all. Also, the registration fees differ depending on whether one attends the entire conference or just the workshop, and when you register (early bird or later), so it did not make sense to put in numbers. Instead, I said that sig members and students would get discounts (of unspecified size).

Finally, I left the proposed deadlines unchanged.

I suspect that we have enough details (and a long enough track record) that this will allow the conference to accept our workshop. I am sure that we will adjust the final announcement of the workshop depending on later happenings - e.g. the final workshop date, the fees that they set, keynote speakers who agree to speak, sponsorships that pour in, etc.
