I’m happy to be on the committee if you want me to, but I will be on
holiday (and out of contact) from the 24th to the 7th, so would only be
able to look through the papers and cast my votes a few days before the
10th and the acceptance e-mails. I understand if you want to put
someone else on the committee because of this!

Ok! Thanks for the heads up on the travel plans. Maybe you can still be an adviser, if you'd like to remain involved :) Matthias gallantly volunteered to help out and I'm hoping Meg will be ok with remaining on the team when she returns from her vacation. 

 

That said, I think two weeks from now until the CfP deadline is a bit
tight, given that LAS GNOME hasn’t been announced at all (right?). Give
people an extra week?

Yeah, I'm worried about what that means for booking flights and hotel and am curious to hear what others think. Good suggestion though -- two weeks is definitely tight!
