Dear Allstat
The Royal Statistical Society invites you to attend and/or contribute to the discussion on the paper 'From start to finish: A framework for the production of small area official statistics' by Nikos Tzavidis, Li-Chun Zhang and Angela Luna (University of Southampton) and Timo Schmid and Natalia Rojas-Perilla (Free University, Berlin).
The paper will be presented to the Society on Wednesday, May 9th at 5pm. Tea and coffee will be available from 4:30pm.
Full details of this Discussion Meeting are in StatsLife<https://www.statslife.org.uk/events/eventdetail/1133/-/rss-discussion-meeting-from-start-to-finish-a-framework-for-the-production-of-small-area-official-statistics> and on our website<http://www.rss.org.uk/RSS/Publications/Journals/Discussion_Papers/RSS/Publications/Journals_sub/discussion_papers.aspx?hkey=edfa4f9b-d001-49aa-bab9-e903b204e5d7>, from where you can also register for the meeting and download the PDF file of the paper.
We welcome contributions to the discussion following the presentation of the paper. If you would like to contribute, you will be limited to 5 minutes' speaking time at the meeting. Please let me know in advance so that your name can be called.
If you are unable to attend, we would be happy to receive a written contribution. The written contribution must be no more than 400 words in length (not including any tables or reference details and figures). Please provide the following information at the beginning of your contribution:
* the author(s) and title of the paper under discussion.
* your name (including your title) and your affiliation, as you would wish it to appear on your printed contribution, e.g. Dr X, University of Y, City Z.
* a full postal address or an email address where you wish to receive the proofs of your contribution for checking (proofs will be issued about 3 months after the meeting).
Written contributions received before the 9th May may be read out for discussion during the meeting if there is time.
After the meeting, written contributions may be submitted for publication by sending a PDF file (plus a separate file for each figure) direct to me at the Society's address before Wednesday, May 23rd, 2018. This deadline is important to help the authors of the paper, who will consider all the contributions and compose a reply in limited time, and to help the timely production of the journal. A condition of publication of your contribution is that you assign copyright to the Society on the form that will be provided when we send you proofs to check.
If you would like to receive email invitations to future RSS Discussion meetings (we hold about six a year) please let me know and I will add your name and email address to our list of prospective discussants.
