Hi all thanks to Liss for kicking off air-meet in preparation for what will be a great conference in 2003 in Toronto. As she mentioned, I am the program chair, with responsibility for managing the submission, review and selection of papers and their organisation into a coherent, manageable program that best reflects the combined expectations of the Association and the Conference organisers. I am looking forward to working closely with Liss, David, Barry and all to make AoIRv4 meet the high standards already set. For the moment, I will be taking a back seat, since the themes, and more, for the conference are not my responsibility. However, soon, I will be asking for ideas and feedback on previous conferences that will help to shape our program next year. Take care now - and encourage as many friends and colleagues as you can to become involved.
