ASPB 2004 (fwd)

[Leonore Reiser]

Well some positive feedback from ASPB as well- so we seem to have
interseted both Botany 2004 and ASPB. Given Toby's comments during the
phone conference (willingness to present at Botany2004)- do we refine our
request to them (not the wide list of speakers) and ask for a shorter
workshop period.

Some dates/locations to consider

Botany 2004	Snowbird,UTAH	July 31- August 5, 2004

ASPB	Florida	July 24-28, 2004

ISMB	Glasgow, Scotland	July31-August 4, 2004

Crop Functional Genomics 	April 7-10, 2004 (Sue speaking)

Comparative Genomics of Plants (Keystone) Taos,New Mexico March 4-9,2004

So- how shall we proceed with the two sets of workshops currently on the
table? Go for both /divvy up people going to one or the other to present
but all meeting for collaborator meeting in Fla?

Dear Leonore,

Thanks for re-explaining your thoughts about workshops at Plant Biology 2004. The miscommunication was my fault, not Susan's, because
I let some email slide last month, quite a lot actually! Anyway, I am enthusiastic about your plan to explain the POC to our
attendees. The second workshop lines up well with ASPB's desire to present a conference with broad appeal. Also, it will be possible
to arrange a meeting room at the site for your group to meet. You may not have known this, but PI's of NSF genome and 2010 grants have
been sent such an offer. If members of groups are coming to ASPB 2004 anyway, they may as well get some work done too. Lunch could be
arranged in the rooms for a modest fee so your members won't have to miss any of the program. Susan Chambers will help you with the
room arrangements.

Thanks for your continued interest in our conference. Let us know if we can help in any other ways.

Best regards,

Edgar Spalding
