<p class="MsoNormal">Dear CHEP 2021 IAC members,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> we are moving ahead with planning and preparatory work for CHEP 2021 and anticipate being able to send out a first bulletin soon. A you can probably imagine conference planning in a pandemic presents some interesting challenges.
At this time things are starting to come together in several areas at the same time. We anticipate having two IAC meetings in September to bring you up to date on where we are and to solicit your input.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In preparation for the first bulletin the Program Committee has identified a few areas where input from the IAC is needed. In one case we would like your input sooner than the first September meeting, ideally by the end of this week. I
attach the request from the PC below.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking forward to the best CHEP conference that we can hold under the circumstances, whether in person, virtual, or hybrid is not yet decided and we will discuss that with you in September.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Regards to all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> Amber, Graham, and the LOC.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">This from the PC:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would like to request your input on two important matters regarding organization of the parallel sessions for CHEP 2021. The first is fairly urgent as we would like to make a first announcement very soon and include the parallel track
titles and keywords. A google doc is available here for you to make comments:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The track titles are very similar to 2019 and have been discussed among the PC, the keywords are directly copied from 2019 and we would particularly like your input here by ** 28th August **.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A second request is less urgent but perhaps even more important - track convenor nominations. Here we will follow the guidance used in 2019:<o:p></o:p></p>
