Dear Laura and Wolfgang,
The abstract submission will be closed tomorrow, Friday February 28
and we would like to give you some further information to complete
the rating of all abstracts.
We expect to have in your session 10 talks of 20 min, but we will only
finalise this number after all abstracts have been rated. It is possible
that we will increase the number of slots in your session as there is
still room in the overall programme.
Therefore, we ask you to propose for talks all the abstracts that meet
your requirements for a talk, as we can always reward a poster presentation
to the ones we cannot accept as a talk.
Ideally, we would like to receive a ranking list to facilitate the assignment
of the exact number of talks to each track.
We would appreciate if you could complete the rating by Wednesday March 12.
Thanks in advance for your kind cooperation, looking forward to seeing you in Amsterdam,
Jan Visser
on behalf of the local organising committee
Dear Jan,
I rated all abstracts except the one that said 'withdrawn'. As far as I can tell, all others fulfil the requirement for an oral presentation, but this would make a long list of talks.
Abstract 251 is very similar to abstract 41 and both are related to the NEWS project, so I'm not sure if it is justified to have two talks. If needed this would be one that could be downgraded to a poster.
Abstract 344 discusses a DAQ system for a NaI detector array. It is not clear from the abstract if there are any innovative solutions, or if this is just the report on a homework well done. In my view this is also a candidate for a poster if we don't have enough time for talks.
After that it becomes a bit difficult. If I understand correctly, abstracts 41, 63, 81, 119 and 199 are already accepted for oral presentation. If 199 stays in this session, and if we need to cut down to 10 oral presentations I would propose that in addition to the above mentioned we propose 348 and 363 for posters.
Cheers, Wolfgang

Dear Jan, dear Wolfgang,
I have also rated the abstract, and I mostly agree with Wolfgang.
Given the number and quality of the submitted abstracts, I would suggest the following:
- we should only have one NEWS talk in this session (the other one could be a poster); these are abstracts 41 and 251 - abstract 3 and 344 would be posters - abstract 199 (oral) could possibly go into another session? - the others would all qualify for oral presentations - perhaps we could have 15 minutes per talk, including questions?
All the best, Laura
