To that end, the meeting dates will remain the same 18 - 21 November but the agenda will be focussed purely on our physics. Each day will be shorter in length and we will construct a schedule which will respect the timezones of the majority of our institutes. More details to follow as we reshape and plan the new agenda.</div><div class="elementToProof" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div class="elementToProof" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">If you wish to present an update of your analysis, you should reach out to your Working Group chair as soon as possible. Within those calls we continue to encourage early stage analyses by students and post-docs to request a presentation slot as well as analyses which are more mature. </div><div class="elementToProof" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div class="elementToProof" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">This was not the news I hoped to be delivering, but now at least with the certainty of this decision we can look forward to meeting and the presentations of the great physics outputs we produce.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div>Bryan, on behalf of the CCC</div><div>
