Well, I just pinged Tim Kohler and he just finalized his travel plans 
which do let him come to Chicago, and his answer to my question whether 
he would do a banquet talk was "yes".

But we could indeed pay the way for another person or two. With Michael, 
that would probably round the schedule off nicely.

(What about you, Marcus?)

Is there any discussion re: Tim Kohler, or shall I officially accept his 
acceptance of my tentative invitation? If it's OK with people I would 
get his name in the Call for Papers which I hope to start circulating 
today or tomorrow.
