[Robert Guerra]

Wolfgang:

Thanks. Your background "report" is quite useful and goes on to
illustrate that background information is very helpful to those of us
who can not attend nor participate in every meeting on IG.

In regards to the conference below, please advise the program committee
that it would be good to extend the call for proposals deadline so that
the panels can include more speakers from developing countries .
Additionally, please transmit the news that i've been able to convince
an anonymous funder who is willing to fund participation of up to 400
participants from Antarctica who were profiled in the March of the Penguin.

regards

Robert
