Sujet:	Deadline for Toronto Workshop Proposal - June 9th!
Envoyé:	Jun 6th, 2006 - 06:47:52

	Hi everyone, Thanks Chukwumuanya for your strong suggestions for the workshop. I just wanted to remind everyone that the deadline for submitting the forms to GYCA is Friday June 9th (3 days time!) I think we might need to speed up the process, even if just so we can get the application in. Has anyone confirmed that they have funding to attend the Toronto meeting? Perhaps those people who will be in Toronto could take responsibility for filling in the proposal form and getting it to GYCA? If you have views on the content please share them so have a preliminary outline for the proposal. Please reply ASAP!
