Dear all,
I love the CFP. I've noticed a small typo in the "Selection" part.
Instead of: "Papers will reviewed by SIG/MET" it should be "Papers will
be reviewed".
In the past we've pushed the deadline to the earlier dates so that
students who needed a visa could have enough time to get one.
Unfortunately, last year even though we started very early, a student
still did not make it in time. Moving the deadline to the later date
would allow students more time to write their papers. It may be worth
doing it. Last year we had hard time getting enough applications, so we
kept pushing the due date two or three times.
Best,
Stasa
