    Thanks Katie. How do I attend in person? I'm here in Chicago and have strong opinions about what we call ourselves (note I coauthored a poster on this topic yesterday). 

    Isn't this the TG that was originally called the "Consumer Products TG?" If so, what year did we change to "Product Design?"

    Hi Keith,

    In person, the meeting is in Grand Hall L from 4:30 to 5:30 on Wednesday.

    Yes, this was originally the Consumer Products TG. Stan is the best person to speak to about the history of the TG. 

    Thanks for your interest.

    Katie

    Hi everyone,

    I have attached a copy of the slides from the business meeting. Slides 14-21 review the data and options explored for the TG name and purpose. The idea behind the proposal is to address the significant content overlap and conference submission confusion between PDTG and UXTG, not to discuss the semantics of the term UX. One alternative is a merger with UXTG.

    Please note that an outcome of the meeting was a requested update to the ballot by PDTG Chair @Han. @HFES - Kemp, Steven will send out a new ballot next week.

    Warm regards,

    Katie
