As conference chair my main job is to make sure the speakers, and the audience, keep to the timetable and to the topic. However, to put this part of the conference in context, let me ask the question: What exactly are Document Management and Information Management in the on-line age?
As chair it isn't my job to answer those questions, just ask them. But let me try.

The advent of networking and cheap computing required a looser management style, this suited the Australian lifestyle.'
