Dear all,
attached is a modified version of the minutes of meeting 2005/1 which takes into account several comments of participating delegates.
Another important item: Please inform me *as soon as possible* about budget requests for 2006. This concerns scheduled conferences and cost for: - Best paper awards - student grants - tutorial speakers etc. These cost should be in the same line as in previous years, at least significant increases are not at all wanted or even possible.
A last topic: It is not so easy for me to send you a modified calendar etc. Reasons for that are workload and ... the fact that Canada is a very clean country ;-) At the end of the first day of meeting 2005/1 we were told that we could leave everything in the meeting room but we found at the beginning of the second day that all that material had disappeared due to room cleaning. Thus a reconstruction of some items is not so easy or might be even impossible.
Best regards Otto
