<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Dear Program Committee,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>With the addition of Rolf Kötter to workshop
5 we now have all our 21 speakers in place!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Remaining tasks:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>-Workshop 2 - We need a work image describing
the workshop and we need speaker info from Ruttenberg.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>-Workshop 5 - I have contacted Rolf today
and asked for speaker info.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>The keynote speakers will be asked to
participate in the panel discussion of a workshop. If you would like one or two
specific keynote speakers to participate in the panel discussion of your
workshop, then you may want to invite him/her/them. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Abstracts:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>We have received a handful of poster and
demo abstracts and we expect many more in the coming weeks. You should all have
been emailed by MCI with information on how to login to the service page to
look at the abstracts. For the abstract review process, we will have to divide the
abstracts between the program committee members in a topic oriented manner. For
each abstract there will be two calls to make: 1) Accept or reject (we want to
be inclusive), 2) If accept, is it also one of the three abstracts to be orally
advertised at your workshop? <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>Me and David have discussed the format of
the short presentations and suggest that they will be given one slide each to
advertise rather than fully go through their abstract. </span>Any thoughts on that?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Cheers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>/Pontus<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>PS. Don't forget to disseminate the
congress at your institutes. /P<o:p></o:p></span></p>
