[Peter Stevens]

>I will be at botany 2004, too, quite possibly Felipe, too - maybe 
>the three of us should think whether we need a symposium, or a 
>couple of back-to-back talks, or a talk and a poster, or something 
>else.

>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.
