NOTE ABOUT “ROUNDTABLES”: We are allowed just 22 sessions, including the Business Meeting. We have therefore combined five sessions into “roundtable” sessions, which allow more than one session to take place at one time. WE HAVE NOT YET CHOSEN WHICH SESSIONS WILL BE ROUNDTABLES AND WHICH WILL HAVE FULL SESSIONS!!
The ISA required us to assign sessions to these slots, and we did so. THESE PRELIMINARY ASSIGNMENTS ARE NOT FINAL. We shall make the final assignments after all papers have been received. Our assignments will depend on several factors, none of which we can gauge now.
