---+++ Initial Phase (to be done at least 6 months prior to the meeting)
   * Choose venue and dates (the <nop>InterOp runs from Sunday to Friday)
   * Create locally-hosted home page and information pages for the <nop>InterOp (see below). The <nop>InterOp program itself will be a page on the IVOA twiki.
   * Create a logo and request the IVOA document coordinator to post it on the IVOA home page with a link to the locally-hosted home page. The home page need not be complete as one will probably be adding information up to the day of the meeting.
   * Chose the contact person for the LOC that will be part of the Program Organising Committee.

---+++ Local <nop>InterOp web pages
   * An outline of the LOC information (the program itself will be created on the IVOA Twiki). Examples from previous meetings can be found by following the links to those meetings on the IVOA home page.
