Petra,
As MAC's first midwinter research chair, I would be very disappointed if our
Division discontinued participation in this important out-of-conference
opportunity for research presentations. As the saying goes, NONE of US HAS
TIME. But, we must make time in an emergency such as this. I'll
pitch-hit since we're apparently in a bind.
The Midwinter Call for Papers needs to go out ASAP. So, if we don't have
any other volunteers, I'll do it. But, we need to have reviewers. . That
is the hardest part of handling any research competition is recruiting
reliable reviewers who will operate in a timely fashion.
Can we get 10 people in the MAC Division to review the abstracts? If you're
willing to review, please e-mail Petra or me OFF-LIST ( So we can preserve
blind review process) There are NO FULL PAPERS to review for this
conference. They usually come in the 2nd week of December and we would need
your decisions back by early January. (You can usually do the reviews in
one sitting)
