Step 1: Make your hotel reservation today. Hotel reservations can be cancelled at no cost if done at least 24 hours prior to arrival date Group IOP ‘07. For online hotel registration, use the Hyatt page tailored for IOP ’07 by following the link marked Hotel within the Conference section at

Step 2: AFTER you have made your hotel reservation, send this form in. All participants must stay at the conference hotel in order to receive free admission. In general, any non-US citizen employed by a government or a non-governmental organization in an information-sharing functional capacity, or any non-US citizen that has attended a prior conference sponsored by OSS.Net, Inc., is assured of admission. UN/NGO invitations with come from the UN via email, and US Civil Affairs invitations will come from the appropriate Command via email. We urge one and all to apply, at a minimum this will help the senior person from each country connect to individuals not already known to be in this arena.

Step 3: Tell others in the seven tribes (government, military, police, business, academia, NGO-media, civil). Any nation taking the trouble to put together the top person for each of at least five of the eight tribes will receive five free seats and be invited to sponsor a national event.

Who Should Attend: Managers of and promising practitioners in substance, technology, people, or money, who want to understand Multinational, Multiagency, Multidisciplinary, Multidomain Information Sharing (M4IS) and be early participants in the conceptualization and creation of InfoLink-Multinational (Tampa), InfoLink-Domestic (Denver), and InfoLink-Public (Seattle), in that order of development. We have proposed the el;evation of the CCC within the US Central Command, to serve as the Multinational Information Sharing Activity (MISA), and the first purely unclassified and truly multinational operations, intelligence, and acquisition & logistics information support activity in the world. We have proposed that an unclassified “mirror” of the “pit” be created, and that this facility be chartered to render unclassified decision support to UN Force Commanders, UN peacekeeping missions, other NGOs engaged in stabilization & reconstruction operations, and so on.

Patience. Bureaucracies move slowly. This is year 20 in our 25-year campaign to address the high-level threats with public intelligence in the public interest, such that budgets are transparent and we spend money we have on waging peace instead of war. EIN will press on whether or not the USG chooses to focus on this. The UN is at a very positive point with the new Joint Military Analysis Centers and Joint Operations Centers.

Cancellation Policy: Those who confirm and do not attend will be banned from future events.

Substitutes are welcome at any time including a different person each day of the event.
