Request for Symposium Support from BSA Systematics Section (fwd)

[Leonore Reiser]

FYI
Seems like everyone is willing to support in name- though not in $
amounts. I'd like to respond to both Botany 2004 and ASPB regarding our
plans for next year. Should we plan a main workshop at ASPB and a smaller
introduction at Botany 2004 (since Toby will be attending anyway?). Id
save it for an agenda item -but it would be good to respond sooner than
that.

Subject: Request for Symposium Support from BSA Systematics Section

Dear Dr. Reiser,

            I am sorry to inform you that the BSA Systematics Section
will not be able to provide funds to offset expenses for your proposed
symposium entitled "Biological Ontologies for Plant Biology:
Development and Applications."   The section is willing to 'sponsor'
your proposed symposium for inclusion in the scientific program, but we
are unable to provide funds.  BSA Systematics had a limited amount of
funds and an unprecedented number of funding requests from proposed
symposia and colloquia for the Botany 2004 conference in Snow Bird
Resort, Utah.

        On behalf of the BSA Systematics Section, we thank you for your
proposal and we wish you good luck in the organization and presentation
of your symposium.

           Best wishes,
                    Wayne Elisens
                      Chair, BSA Systematics Section
