%NASA will support the meeting through the Michelson Science Center.  \subsection{Contracting and Risk Control}   One of the difficulties of planning meetings like this is the negotiations with the service providers.  When done poorly this can lead to cost escalation. Further since we are coordinating among Several local hosts,  there is a certain assumption of risk (i.e. due to poor attendance) absorbed by one institution relative to the other.   To help alleviate this problem we are in discussion with the AAS Topical Conference Series (AASTCS) for assistance in production.  These would include processing registration and registration fees, dealing with grants to the conference and subsequent travel awards, and paying invoices.   If approved the AAS would act as contracting agent and guarantee a fixed registration fee (expected to be$<$ \$650) in exchange for a   fee of about \$40 per attendee.  While we have no firm commitments at this point, we have had positive  discussions with Belinda Wilkes, Director of the CXC. The CXC typically hosts a summer workshop and those funds and personnel could be direct toward this meeting. We have also approached Northrupt Grumman Space Technology (NGST). NGST supports Chandra flight operations and were receptive to supporting this meeting. Other potential sources include the CfA as a whole. Accross Cambridge, two other possible sources of local support include the MIT Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research. The university of Massachusetts at Lowell has also expressed interest in supporting this meeting.  We %We  are considering several options concerning administrative support. While The CXC may be able to provide some. We also have offers from the Boston University Conference center and the AAS as discussed above. These would include processing registration and registration fees, dealing with grants to the conference and subsequent travel awards, and paying invoices. These negotiations have not been resolved yet. In addition, as with previous US-based CSW meetings, we will contact NSF for support. The remainder of the financial support will come,  as usual, from registration fees. J. Stauffer has offered to share his own records of the
