Fall 99 Meeting - Wootten
There will be a scientific meeting in the Fall of 1999 to showcase the science that the MMA/LSA will be able to perform in the 21st century. It will be held, probably, for two days with the venue the Carnegie Institute of Washington, 14th and P St NW across from AUI (Andrew's former home). This will probably be after Labor Day but before October. The MAC will work as the US Scientific Organizing Committee for this meeting, along with the newly appointed European 'MAC': Karl Menten (Chair), Roy Booth, Stephane Guilloteau, Richard Hills, Ewine van Dishoeck, Malcolm Walmsley, Peter Shaver (sec'y). I will cc: Ishiguro. Dick Kurtz was appointed yesterday as head of the LSA; nominations are being sought for Project Scientist. Anyway, I propose to get a list of available dates and nominate this whole bunch as the SOC, letting people decline to serve rather than offer to do so. I guess that some bunch of us will be LOC.
