the logical path seems to be to ask Foretec to start making arrangements
for next year's meetings - doing so in a way that could be transfered
to another meeting manager if things came to that would be ideal but
may be hard

also

imo it would least disruptive to follow option #3 (combo path)
and try to negotiate a sole source contract with Foretec/CNRI for
what Carl called the clerk function and maybe some other functions
(imo it would be better to outsorce the management of the mailing
lists and their archives to a company in that business)
