I wanted to be honest with you which is why I wrote the note about my perceptions. The big mistake was fixing the date before we confirmed with people. Everyone on our original list was interested in attending...they had committed in fact to trending in principle. The date turned out to suck for a bu inch of them, and even those people tried to change their plans but couldn't. We should have sent a matrix of dates out, like we do for internal meetings, and confirmed availability first. That was a huge mistake, and I take blame. I wanted to get the meeting in this year, and that narrowed things considerably. The list of people coming is still stellar though..but not out of this galaxy as I had hoped. freedman, matrher, and Guth will be fantastic on early universe and cosmology, and shubin, Erwin, van der leeuw and anbar will be great on early animal and human evolution. And Charlie bennett basically created modern quantum computing. Lawrence M. Krauss
