Dear NATW-2000 Authors and Presenters:

Acceptance Notifications had been sent to all of you on 04/04/2000
(some of you are contributing two papers), along with instructions
and schedule for the preparation of the final versions and abstracts
(to be put on the web), I trust that you are working on them.

(If you have not received the NATW-2000 Acceptance Notification
from me on 04/04, please contact me ASAP.)

While the committee is working on the Program, I like to inform you that
each presention has a 30-minute slot, with 25 minutes for presentation
and 5 minutes for Q&A. Although exchanges are encouraged during and after
presentations, a presenter can choose not to have questions until the
presentation is complete, if he/she wishes to.

As to the A/V equipment, 35mm and overhead projectors are standard.
If you are going for electronic presentation, it is best that you
be prepared with your own notebook/laptop computers with necessary
software (typically, PowerPoint). In the case where you need the
workshop to arrange a notebook/laptop computer, please contact me.
(We try not to rent electronic presentation equipment to keep
the cost low.)

Thanks.
