Thanks very much to all of you who have taken so much time and trouble to review the abstracts for the IR 9.0 conference to be held in Copenhagen. It really is much appreciated. We are in the process of attempting to notify everyone who submitted a paper abstract before 31st March and would therefore urge the last few remaining reviewers to post your comments in asap. We have had a very enthusiastic response to the call for panels and roundtables and will hope to make decisions on these by the the end of next week if not before. Proposals for workshops on Wednesday 15th October are still very welcome. Brian -- Brian D.
