I'll echo the other positive comments on complementary and co-location of
meetings. The number of meetings and interest groups on digital curation
has blossomed, and co-location and coordination can provide a more
compelling and integrative approach to the topic. As others have noted,
it can also help reduce travel costs (and for many of us with limited
budgets, it may elevate a set of meetings from "wish I could go" to "got
to go to that one").<br>

Those of you who have attended an event in Australia will understand both the time and budget cost of each trip.<div>

Gary et al., I just attended OR2011, but am unable to be at JCDL this<br>
year. I am agnostic about changing RDAP2012, and commitments have been<br>
made. But looking past 2012 it might make sense for RDAP, OR, and JCDL<br>
to become one info and data access and preservation summit. It does make<br>
for a long week, but these are overlapping communities that are<br>
separated by the proliferation of individual conferences. And the topics<br>
of research data management cross many of these conference boundaries.<br>
In addition, funding for travel will be constrained in the coming years,<br>
so perhaps consolidation, or a loose confederation, is an attractive idea?<br>
