[Sc_coordination] [Coord23] Planning SC meeting (requires action)

Dear All, Dear Antonia and Sung, DisCoTec 2023 is soon to take place in Lisbon from June 19 to June 23 and Coordination 2023 will take place on 20-21-22 June. The proceedings of Coordination 2023 are in the production phase at Springer and the conference programme should appear soon. Many thanks to Antonia and Sung for all the work! I would like to plan a meeting of the Steering Committee at the conference inviting also the current PC Chairs Antonia and Sung. According to the information that is available at the moment, it seems sessions will end at 16.30 every day (followed by a coffee break). A good time to plan a SC meeting could therefore be from 17-18.30 (local Lisbon time), either on Tuesday 20 or on Wednesday 21 afternoon. Below please find a doodle link to *insert your preference in the next few days*: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/av8PE5Md A preliminary agenda for the meeting is the following: 1) A presentation by the PC Chairs of this year, Antonia and Sung, on the current edition: some statistics, experience and suggestions 2) Status of various Coordination Special Issues and plans for next Special Issues 3) Place of next year's DisCoTec 2024: According to recent news from the DisCoTec SC this will be held in Groningen, The Netherlands. Jorge Perez has been kindly accepting to be the General Chair of DisCoTec 2024. 4) Suggestions for names of next year's PC chairs 5) Any other business For what regards point (4) of the agenda, I'm including a list below obtained from the minutes of the SC meeting of last year. For what concerns the criteria, we could follow a similar approach as last year: 1) Continuing the tradition of having one woman and one men 2) Have at least one Co-Chair that is familiar with Coordination 3) Have one Co-Chair from the country where the event takes place 4) Have (at least) one Co-Chair that is sufficiently senior (+ experience with Conference organisation) Any additional suggestions for names that come to mind, please just drop me an email (with some brief motivation) so that we have a nice list to start from at the meeting. Looking forward to see many of you in Lisbon!
