[xmca] iscar 2nd flyer

XMCA colleagues,

Thank you for the nudge. I had waited to send
you the revised 2nd flyer until I heard from
one more panelist, and I just did--she will not be able to join us.

Please note corrections:

1. The date of submission of proposals has been extended to February 15

2. The date of acceptance letters is also extended to March 30th

3. Please note the visas will take a lot longer than usual because of security
        reasons so please start early. If you need a letter before March 30th
        please let us know.

4. Please feel free to go to the website for any questions you may have.

5. If you are not able to open the flyer, you
will find it posted on the website: iscar2008.com

My Best,

olga

As the deadline for submissions approaches,I was
planning to submit a paper proposal and noticed
that the call for papers says that a proposal may
be submitted for:

     * a paper that corresponds to one of the congress themes or (sub)themes
     * a symposium that corresponds to one of the congress (sub)themes
     * a poster that corresponds to one of the congress (sub)themes

I was looking for the themes and subthemes in the
website and didn't find them. Are they the
"strands" mentioned in the opening statement?
