Dear Ruth Many thanks for your comments. I agree about the discussion being important. I was hoping to organise a session that included short papers and then a slot for discussion. Best wishes Annie -----Original Message----- From: Ruth L. Greenspan [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 30 January 2002 01:44 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: ICAZ session Annie-- Much to my regret, I will be unable to attend ICAZ, so I cannot help with your priimary request. I do want to say, however, that I think the topics you propose are both important and interesting, and I hope you are able to the session. It occurs to me that these topics might be better suited to a discussion or workshop format than to formal papers. Just a thought.... Best of luck.
