Dear Jose, all,

thank you for this suggestion! This is a sensible proposal in my view.

If there are no violent objections from others in the next few hours, I will contact Vladik and Naomi to find out about their availability and interest. I’ll let you know as soon as there is feedback. 

Best regards,

Frank

Since both talks are (short) overview talks, we need speakers that are able to cover the full extent of the CALICE program on the technical/performance and shower physics / GEANT4 side. I think that all of our candidates would meet this requirement. In addition, conferences such as EPS can provide some visibility beyond the R&D community. From that point of view, giving preference to postdocs and advanced graduate students would make some sense.
