Annual Convention Proposal Deadline

Today is the last day to submit a paper or panel proposals for the 2012 Annual Convention. Our next convention will be held at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel, right on San Diego Bay and just minutes from the downtown Gaslamp District. For the full call for papers, see the ISA 2012 website. Here are some brief answers to common questions:

• When exactly is the proposal deadline? We will accept proposals until the end of the day, 11:59 PM PST, on Wednesday, June 1, 2011. 
• Do I have to confirm my participation in MyISA today? No, this is the proposal deadline, not the confirmation deadline. We will send an e-mail to all participants over the summer inviting them to confirm their willingness to participate.
• Can I provide an outline of a panel and then recruit participants over the summer? Panel proposers must provide complete information (title, abstract, authors, chair, discussant) for all papers and participants to be included on the panel.
• I'm working on a proposal and the system won't let me add a participant, it says they have reached their participation limit, what do I do? ISA policy restricts participation on the convention program to four (4) placements and will prevent more than two (2) paper presentations and more than (4) total placements. First, work with the participant and ask if they would like to edit their participations so as to include your proposal. If you feel the system is in error pleace contact ISA. 
• My proposal is ready to submit but the system won't accept it, how can I submit it? Please review the requirements box on the right side of your proposal form, it keeps a running tally of your progress. A green check mark will indicate that the requirement has been completed. Bold text will indicate a requirement yet to be completed. For example, if it says Tags (2-10) in bold like this: Tags (2-10) then you need to add tags or remove tags to fall within the required range.

Thank you for your interest in the 2012 Annual Convention, we look forward to seeing you in San Diego.
