[AISPC] Draft agenda

[Ashil Oogarah]

Dear PC,

Note the deadline is Monday 8 May (CoB) for finalising the list of speakers to be included in the program so they have sufficient time to prepare.

Please send your comments asap.

I shall then proceed with informing speakers about the outcome of the selection process by Tuesday 9 May.

Thanks,

Ashil
