Hi All:

I hope I do not sound like a nag, but I am a bit concerned about the sorry state of the conference website. Now that the CFP has been sent to many organizations, people will be accessing the website and its’ frankly a bit embarrassing. It does have the CFP, which is beautiful, but there’s literally nothing else on the page.  I suspect that’s not going to inspire much enthusiasm, or even confidence in the overall organization of the conference, and is unlikely to encourage people to submit proposals or consider attending.

I checked with Krishna, and it turns out he still does not have access to the website. I’m pretty sure that when he does, he will work wonders. But he will need access.

I understand he does not yet have a contract. Might that be the problem? I think there are some details that are not quite clear to me; perhaps others know more?

Best,

julie
