[Nheri-council] 11 NCEE and NHERI- Please Respond before Oct 1. TIME SENSITIVE

[Heidi Tremayne]

Yes, we can try to cluster your papers into one or two sessions depending
on how many you have.  We are planning on 6 papers/presentations per
session.  I've copied Zoe Yin, EERI's Program Coordinator, who will be
working with the 11NCEE technical program committee to arrange the
sessions.  As she looks to see what is possible, it is very helpful to have
a complete list of all the NEHRI papers.

We look forward to hearing more about your decision about the workshop, as
you all consider the feasibility and details.

Thanks,

Heidi
