CT2011 - Participation and Early Registration

CT2011 - Participation and Early Registration

[John MacDonald]

This is a request for all those who will attend or may attend CT2011 to
send me email stating "may attend" or "will attend" on the subject line.
This information is needed so I can have a preliminary estimate of
attendance for the various events and excursions as well as making sure
the lecture room sizes are adequate. Since a preliminary participant list
will be drawn up soon it would be helpful to have your name, university or
city and country when you respond.

Those who have already registered do not need to reply.

Due to several requests the early registration deadline has been extended
to May 23.
