It's very hard to know our chances of getting this
or anything else at the
moment. I imagine though that it will become pretty clear pretty quickly in
the meeting, so ask me again in 8 days. As for how we improve our chances, I
think we just have to present the case as compellingly as possible. I'm
going to go through lists of past speeches to draw up a list of talks which
may have had serious academic content of interest to those at the OII, and
I'm very much open to suggestions of anything else I should be presenting
them.
Do they have any museums or collections they would like attention
drawn to? We could probably arrange for some commons people to a mass
photo and upload session.
