Hi Folks,

Just a quick up date - we now have 74 registrations of intention to attend
and again I have just received one as I am writing this email.

Steve L, I wish you all the best in getting the University of York approval
through and once you have, happy to facilitate whatever you need to get the
conference on.

Kind regards,
Ralph

Paul, thanks for your input - but can everyone please just hang fire a 
little longer so that I can come back with a decision and proposal on the 
organization of the conference? There are a lot of technical issues that 
need to be resolved but these will be much easier to deal with once I have 
the appropriate approval. I am doing my best here to preserve the 
conference for Istanbul in a way that will meet all objectives - 
philosophical, financial, practical and ethical.

Best regards

Steve
