I am happy to say that, knowing how busy Manny Paschos is, I already invited him and he has accepted to attend and address the Workshop. I also had both Marteau and Delorme as well as Vogel on the short list of speakers I sent to my co-conveners early this morning for consideration. I am all for inviting both Marteau and Delorme to participate although finite time would probably allow only one to speak. A consideration might be Marteau to speak and Delorme for the panel discussion... We'll prepare and circulate our recommendations before the video-conference.
