Dear fellow-categorists,
As most of you will know, the Advisory Committee on CT meetings
was set up in 2005, with the aims of ensuring that international
category theory conferences are held on a reasonably regular basis,
and of providing assistance and advice for the organizers of such
meetings. The Committee has no official status, and no executive
authority.
Since its inception, the Committee has been chaired by Bill Lawvere.
However, Bill recently informed us of his wish to step down from
the Committee, in order to concentrate on other projects that are
important to him. The other members of the Committee would like
publicly to record our great indebtedness to Bill for his sound
chairmanship and wise advice over the past five years, and to wish
him well for the other projects he is pursuing.
Having no formal constitution, we have decided that the Committee
should continue without a Chairman, but with the writer of this note
continuing to act as Convenor, as I have done up to now. We have,
however, decided to reinforce the Committee by recruiting two new
members, and we are delighted to be able to announce that Eugenia
Cheng and George Janelidze have agreed to join it with immediate
effect. The Committee's current membership is thus
Eugenia Cheng
Maria Manuel Clementino
George Janelidze
Peter Johnstone
Ross Street
Walter Tholen
Myles Tierney
Richard Wood
Anyone who may be thinking of organizing an international CT meeting
is welcome to contact any member of the Committee -- but particularly
the undersigned -- at any time. We should be particularly glad to hear
from anyone who may have plans for 2012 or 2013 at this point.
Peter Johnstone
