Hi Mike,

How are you? Here I am working in the upgrade document by now. I was
wondering if we could forget the upgrade seminar for and postpone it
to September (when there is people to watch it).

I have done a seminar already last year and I will present the paper
in the conference, both  fill (I guess) the upgrade requirements
('presenting a seminar in a proper academic setting').

Are you in London after the conference? I will have my anual report
for you to sign and the upgrade document for you to have a look. There
is a meeting of the upgrade comitee 27 June, or we can do it in July
or when you free.

Best Regards,
Lucas
