It will also help to +AD4 decide if we need a 2nd day of the conference as well. What do you +AD4 think? +AD4 +-1 This sounds reasonable. - Akhil +AD4 - Pockey +AD4 +AD4 It should give enough time for participants to get VISA, travel +AD4 +AD4 subsidy if necessary and have their tickets booked. Please let me +AD4 +AD4 know you are okay with it. +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 - Pockey +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 On 01/18/2011 12:50 PM, Pockey Lam wrote: +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 On 01/18/2011 12:21 PM, Akhil Laddha wrote: +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 On Tue, 2011-01-18 at 10:29 +080, Pockey Lam wrote: +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 The Call for Participation has the following time line +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +ACo February 6th 2011 : Deadline for submission of abstracts +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +ACo February 13rd 2011 : Notification of speakers +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 I have a small concern. +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 We are thinking for keeping 'deadline for sponsorship' for companies by +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 Feb 15, 2011. So when we notify speakers by Feb 13, 2011, we won't have +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 much idea about total sponsorship. Later when speakers apply for travel +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 subsidy, we may have to take decision based on the sponsorship what we +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 would have received. I hope it will be fair to assume that we may not be +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 able to sponsor all the notified speakers. +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 I proposed the date of deadline for call for papers before I +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 received the call for sponsors draft :-) +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 No problem, let's talk about how to synchronize the deadlines for +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 both call for paper and sponsors in the meeting today, please feel +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 free to propose a date during the meeting, thanks+ACE +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 Pockey +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 - Akhil +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXw +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 asia-summit-list mailing list +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 asia-summit-list+AEA-gnome.org +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/asia-summit-list +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXw +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 asia-summit-list mailing list +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 asia-summit-list+AEA-gnome.org +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/asia-summit-list +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AD4 +AF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXw +AD4 +AD4 asia-summit-list mailing list +AD4 +AD4 asia-summit-list+AEA-gnome.org +AD4 +AD4 http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/asia-summit-list +AD4 +AD4 +AF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXwBfAF8AXw +AD4 asia-summit-list mailing list +AD4 asia-summit-list+AEA-gnome.org +AD4 http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/asia-summit-list
