Beijing venue - where to do this? Some current candidates include:
- Central Conservatory of China, on pavilion outside of main auditory
- National Theatre, possibly in atrium
- landmark - moon/sun temple? scenic mountain park?
Beijing onsite technical setup
- port/access to node on internet backbone
- machine (we might provide this)
- sound system
- video hardware (might require another machine?)
video capture/transmission/playback
- what to use for these?
- who to investigate these tools (perhaps Deepak on CCRMA side)
Beijing event as public concert (perhaps for students)

conference call
gain access to point of presence at Beijing for internet backbone (perhaps ping Chris's friend on Internet2, coordinator of fine arts?)
determine point person, one in Beijing, one here
figure out who can go back to China in March to set up tech, run tests (Juan-Pablo, Rob?)
