Dear PC, We've had some useful meetings at SC06, which have confirmed the overall structure of the joint event, including timing of plenaries, receptions, etc., and also a draft outline of the e-Science tracks. I will now take this a stage further and produce a straw man programme which will suggest which rooms will be assigned to each track as each time. Once I've completed this I will ask the list for comments. There will be calls for participation in the E-Science and Industry programmes. I was asked to produce a list of PC members grouped by function - which makes sense, given that there are a large number of us. I've grouped you into Standards, E-Science, Industry/Enterprise, Geographical and Operational. This is not an exact science as some members will have overlapping concerns. Please let me know if you think you should be listed in a different group. Subgroups may meet to discuss particular aspects of the programme - as we've already done for the industry track - but the whole committee will see the developing programme. In particular, the geographical members are welcome to comment on any aspect of the programme that affects them, as well as encouraging people from their areas to contribute to the success of the event. I would like to welcome Satoshi Sekiguchi (Japan) and Max Lemke (European Commision) to the committee.
