Issues
1. overhead. I have decided not to pay overhead.
2. honoraria for speakers. No, in general.
3. Should AAAI be publisher of proceedings. No action at present.
4. They should report for Magazine.
Workshops in AI sponsored by AAAI.
AAAI will sponsor workshops in particular areas of AI. So far more
than 10 have been sponsored. The format is not prescribed except that
this program does not sponsor large conferences.
Here are some policies.
1. Up to $10K can be approved per workshop.
2. No honoraria for speakers or overhead to institutions will be paid.
3. Proposals should be sent to
John McCarthy.
4. Electronic mail to JMC@SU-AI.STANFORD.EDU is preferred, but U.S.
mail to
Professor John McCarthy
Computer Science Department
Stanford, CA 94305
will also work. If you get impatient you can phone (415)723-4430.
5. Proposals should contain approximations to the following:
a. budget.
b. subject, detailed enough to evaluate relevance to AI
and possible overlap with other workshop proposals.
c. conditions of participation including how papers
and attendees are to be selected.
d. when and where if this is known.
6. Correspondence should be copied to AAAI-OFFICE@SUMEX.STANFORD.EDU
or to
Ms. Claudia Mazzetti, Executive Director
AAAI
445 Burgess St.
Menlo Park, CA 94025
You can phone her at (415)328-3123.
7. After McCarthy has approved the proposal further arrangements should
be made with Mazzetti at the AAAI office. This includes transfer of
money and possible help with publicity and workshop preprints and
publication.
8. After the workshop is finished there should be a report suitable
for publication in AI Magazine.

John - Could you tell me the status of our proposal for the 1987 Machine

I have your proposal. I'll decide in a day or two about the secretary
part, but AAAI is good for the $5K anyway.

workshop
I consulted two people who have run workshops and they agree that
1/5 of a secretary is reasonable. Therefore, I have decided to
fund your full request for the 1987 Machine Learning Workshop of $9950.
Please make all further arrangements with Claudia Mazzetti at the
AAAI office. She is AAAI-OFFICE@SUMEX in addition to being reachable
by phone and U.S. Mail.
