I'm happy to be a part of the committee. I think I would suggest Peter is
also on it as he has work closely with Louis and also with Kamila on the
last two events.

Two weeks from now should be enough to get more ideas out there.

Also, the idea of Amsterdam, was that a full proposal or was it a side event
with some sort of video/net link up? If not a full proposal, it depends on
either of the first two or another event stepping in as as primary.
