His reply (with the URL of the conference) is below. The specific URL for his slideset is

Worth posting a notice to that effect.
Hope you're mending well!

Administrators being preached at from outside may well be more easily persuaded if they see a ground-swell of support building amongst the academic faculty. The best way to work on faculty is through their colleagues.

I believe, but I don't have the time to search out and put together the case in a compelling way, and since this is a common need, we should, as a community, only need to do it once as a platform and then allow others to make use of it.
