meeting postponed<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>Dear Colleagues,
<P>This morning, several rapporteurs (Sakae Okubo, Gary Sullivan, Paul Jones,
Paul Reddy, Les Brown, Tom Taylor, Glen Freundlich) held a conference call and
decided to postpone the Santa Barbara meeting of Q.D, F, G, 2-5 (I've talked
separately with Martin Euchner and he also agrees). Considering the reduced
attendance due to travel restrictions, we felt we did not have sufficient
representation. <U>Note that Gary Sullivan still plans to hold the Q.6 meeting
as scheduled.</U>
<P>We are currently investigating alternatives, but feel that we will try to
reschedule for the end of October or early November in Europe or in the U.S.
Please respond as soon as possible if you are aware of conflicts with other
meetings or holidays over these days.
<P>Please be sure to cancel your hotel reservations accordingly.
<P>Please continue to post your contributions. This will give us some
opportunity to discuss the proposals via email. When we have agreed on a new
meeting date, we can work out the details for submitting contributions.
<P>Best Regards, <BR>Glen Freundlich (on behalf of the other rapporteurs
mentioned above) </P></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
