    First Annual Meeting of The TEI Consortium
    Pisa, Italy
    November 16-17, 2001

    The TEI Consortium, a newly formed non-profit membership organization that
    continues the efforts of the Text Encoding Initiative, will hold its first
    annual meeting November 16 and 17, 2001, in Pisa, Italy. The keynote
    address will be provided by former TEI editor Michael Sperberg-McQueen, who
    is currently domain leader in the World-Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Domain
    Leader, as well as co-chair (with Dave Hollander) of the W3C XML
    Coordination Group and the W3C XML Schema Working Group, and co-editor
    (with B. Tommie Usdin of Mulberry Technologies) of _Markup Languages:
    Theory & Practice_, a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the design and use
    of markup languages, published by MIT Press.

    Members and non-members alike are welcome: the first day of this two-day
    program will be open to all and will include the keynote address, technical
    briefings, and presentations on a variety of applications of TEI markup (in
    producing ebooks, web sites, digital library collections, etc.). The
    second day will be for members and subscribers only: there will be a
    hands-on workshop and a business meeting that will include a financial
    report from the Treasurer, two elections (one for Board members, one for
    the TEI Council), and a discussion of work-items for the Council and its
    appointed work-groups.

    subscribers through 2002. New members who pay their 2002-2003 membership
    fee between September 15th and November 15th will receive membership for
    the remainder of 2001 free.
