Don't despair.  Speaking from the organizer perspective, I can tell
you that one puzzle is how to fit in the many good ideas that come up
that don't fit the (fairly flexible, but not universal) categories
we've come up with.  I think what's likely to happen is for there to
be some relatively unstructured time, in which people can put various
special-interest meetings, caucuses, etc.  Not everything that could
happen will happen, of course, given the time- and space-frames, but I
think we can get a lot in.  (And the time-frame is probably more of a
constraint than the space-frame, since at least some of these events
can always take place in restaurants :-)

Now, that doesn't change the empirical fact that no one answered your
original post :-)  But maybe people will feel encouraged to, or to
contact you directly.
