>> Hi Sushma,
>>
>> Thanks for the suggestion!  Ramu and I attended Mary’s CSGS session

>> We have quite a few new members – so, it would we be good to put a

>> b. Virtual 3MT best practices

>> 3.Preliminary plan for April meeting at Northwestern
>>
>> a.Format, preliminary agenda
>>
>> b.Staff participation
>>
>> I suppose the above would fit well into a 60-90 minute session, but 
>> we could add or subtract as needed.
>>
>> Everyone: Please chime in with your opinions and suggestions.  We

>> Hi all,
>>
>> Based on 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.
>>
>> In the interim, we are proposing a virtual discussion session (60 to 
>> 90 minutes) on Friday, October 30^th .   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.

>> *Greg is learning along with the rest of you that he has been drafted 
>> as an honorary member of the executive committee. J  Thanks, Greg!
