Now you're talking my language ;) See you in 2011! This sounds like an exciting addition to the WMF.
"The Presentation Selection Panel Members names will be announced after they have made their final selections."
Does this translate to we don't know who picks the finalists/presenters until after they have picked? Will they be research oriented/litarate people who can judge good from poor study design, validity, etc?

BTW, I see you have Jenny Ray offering a Stone Massage class; excellant. It's time we brought more culture into our classes and from sources who've been practising the healing art for centuries. I wonder what folks would think about Jenny offering an opening blessing to the event; and if she would be interested in performing the ceremony?
