At the last Balisage conference, we wish to focus not on our past but our
future. A special series of Birds of a Feather conversations will explore the
trajectories we might take as we navigate our technological ecosystems.
Perhaps, out of these conversations, new ideas or projects will emerge to
enrich the markup community.

The series of conversations will take the title "The Future of Markup", and
each conversation will have a theme, the first being "An International
Organization for XML?" Up to eight participants who wish to do so will be
invited to present initial statements (maximum five minutes), after which, we
will all engage in discussions both lively and respectful. Our conversation
may take unexpected turns. At the end of one conversation, participants will
vote on the theme of the next "The Future of Markup" conversation.

To encourage global participation, each themed conversation will be spread
across two sessions, at two different times of day. If you wish to present an
initial statement, please send an email to info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
