Dear Chris We have started to plan the organization of the 2006 pan-ALMA meeting. I would like to contact the members of the SOC asap. In your e-mail you said that two names were still TBD (1 from Japan and 1 from North America). Could you, please, tell me if the ASAC has already decided in this context ? If not, could you please propose two names for approval at the next ASAC telecon ? The symposium is finally scheduled for Nov 13-16, 2006. Rafael and me we have prepared a preliminary activity calendar and we plan to send the 1st announcement by Sept 15, 2005. The 2nd annoucement and the call for contributing taks will be sent by January 2006. The LOC composition is the following: J. Martin-Pintado CSIC co-chairman Pere Planesas OAN co-chairman R. Bachiller OAN J. Cernicharo CSIC F. Colomer OAN J.R. Pardo CSIC P. de Vicente OAN M. Agundez CSIC J. Gracia OAN I. Jimenez CSIC Best Regards Pepe Cc: J.Martin-Pintado, Pere Planesas, T. Wilson, R.
