The preliminary program is now available and will be updated. The Workshop will begin with registration, starting Thursday, October 29th, at 13:00, and end with a concluding discussion on Saturday, October 30th at 1817:0030. We foresee plenary sessions only, and as in the past, most of talks should be very short, focusing on the essentials, stressing uncertainties and problems, and also give a projection for future improvements. The brief introductory session will be followed by four sessions on inclusive and exclusive B to Xc l nu and B to Xu l nu decays and the workshop will conclude with discussion and conclusions of what we learned and how we might proceed to improve our measurements and detailed understanding.
