Sanjay and other members:<br>
<br>
I think this is a good agenda for October 30. Shall we start at 10
AM and plan to end around noon? I am really looking forward to our
virtual gathering.<br>
<br>
In addition to thesis defense, I would like to hear about how thesis
review and submission are being handled. We have gone almost
all-electronic since March. The only required human-to-human
interaction is when the student submits the required number of hard
copies on bond paper to the Library.<br>
<br>
Mary gave an awesome presentation on the topic of 3b at the CSGS
webinar. I would love to have a discussion so that we can prepare
for our own virtual 3MT.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Ramu<br>

your responses, it appears that many will be unable to
travel at this time for our Fall meeting. The
executive committee (Mary, Ramu, Greg*, Sanjay)
discussed the situation and concluded that it is best
to postpone the regular meeting to April 2021.
Hopefully, the travel situation will have improved by
then.

interim, we are proposing a virtual discussion session
(60 to 90 minutes) on Friday, October 30<sup>th</sup>.
Please feel free to make suggestion for the format
and content of this virtual session either to this
list or to one of the committee members.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
