Of the two points raised by Mr. Lopez below, the suggestion that the
symposium be offered on the web seems to have generated the most
comments. I join those who favor that alternative. I understand that
these decisions are made by committee. Let's hope the members of the
committee take heed of the well reasoned comments concerning the second
point. Even if it does not occur for the 2011 symposium it will hopefully
be adopted soon thereafter.
