>to the conference. Those wishing to lead seminars are encouraged to 
>submit a proposal.  Once seminar leaders are chosen, the seminars 
>will be announced through the CSA's various public e-mail lists on

>who will then inform the Program Committee who will participate in 
>the seminar after November 20.
