Dear MEI list - in particular, conference organisers,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">As a UK academic, I am desperately engaged in the tiresome and laborious bureaucratic exercise of registering all my own research outputs for funded projects, as well as those of research teams for which I have responsibility (mostly the Transforming
Musicology team).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">For each publication, presentation, workshop, meeting, public seminar - whatever - I have to submit a URL if possible (though I somehow doubt anyone will check all the many thousands the assessors will receive).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Google searches for "music encoding conference 2016” throw up plenty of relevant hits, but these tend to point to URLs like:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> <a href="http://music-encoding.org/program-of-the-music-encoding-conference-2016/" class="">http://music-encoding.org/program-of-the-music-encoding-conference-2016/</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">which has a further link to:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> <a href="http://music-encoding.org/community/conference/mec2016/program/" class="">http://music-encoding.org/community/conference/mec2016/program/</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">which is broken.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Some of the links I found on Google (explicitly naming 2016, not 2017) link to a generic MEC URL:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""> <a href="http://music-encoding.org/community/conference/" class="">http://music-encoding.org/community/conference/</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">which in turn links to the 2017 conference - ONLY. (IMHO, there should be links to the four previous MECs somewhere on that page.)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Could someone please provide me with a URL that will safely link to the information for *last year’s* MEC - 2016 (McGill)?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Many thanks,</div>
