<p class="MsoNormal">Just to say it probably makes sense to combine this with the first few days of AAAI if you are going to New York anyway (you’d be able to attend the workshops / tutorials and 1-2 days of the main conference, then move on to the ITA meeting).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Again, the project can pay, but please book travel and register for the conference as soon as possible.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Tesfay: getting a US visa will take a while, so start organising this soon. Schuh and Fan have a lot of experience with this and can help

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">There’s an ITA-wide meeting in New York in February. I am not sure I can attend, as it’s the start of teaching for me.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt">But it would be great if as many of us can attend as possible (especially Schuh, Fan and Tesfay). Tim, Enrico, Markus: please also consider if you can make it (I know Markus is unlikely, but please consider it

You can mark yes/maybe/no against each of these three options. If you plan to attend via phone/webex please use 'maybe'. If you are leaving mid-PM on a day (e.g., to take your overnight flight back to UK) please use 'yes' and the project champions will factor
