Go to web.mit.edu/iap using netscape (not internet explorer) 
and click on "post and revise your activity of subject". 
You'll probably need to get a new certificate, just follow
the instructions for that if it won't let you in.
You're in their database as authorized to submit for SIPB
from last year.

(If you look at message 73 in the iap folder (in case one of
us re-sorts the folder, it's the message of Thu, 02 Nov 2000
14:24:44 -0500, Subject: IAP guide entries) you'll find the
longer instructions I sent you last year, by the way.)

You probably want to drop by the IAP office some time and
introduce yourself to Donna Friedman, who's responsible for
the guide and approves all the submissions.  She's cut me a
*lot* of deadline slack in the past, I think at least in part
because I'm an actual person to her, not just an email address.
(And in part because I do makea real effort ot be on time,
send her mail ahead of the deadline apologizing and explaining
that I have to get a little more info from some of my instructors
and expect to have the last of my entries ready in two more
days....)  She's a bureaucrat and has limited imagination (it
was at her request that I created the list "sipb-iap-coorcinator"
(which has one member, sipb-iap-sucker), which is the address
published in the guide for us --- "sucker" made her a little
uncomfortable and I saw no harm in accomodating her), but
she's a nice lady who's genuinely trying to help.
