The suggestion about different submission dates has merit - I am sure I will add that to the list 'things to consider' for 2004 when I hand over to the next chair.

A first deadline for panels and the second one for individual papers. In the cases of unsuccesful panel proposals every people could apply again as individual participant.

Hi there

you submit EITHER in a panel OR separately. - basically you have to choose and hopefully this ensures only very good panels are proposed, with good papers all through

We have found previously that some panels really were not of strong quality and this is the way we are trying to ensure they improve - by making people responsible for organising their paper into a good panel or submitting it singly

Best wishes Matt Allen
