After a year with several conferences hosting sessions on MAP, the only major MAP-related conference in 2001 will be the MAP Meeting itself. The extended abstracts in the MAP newsletter will therefore be the only written documentation of the progress of MAP for the MAP community, the larger scientific community, and funding agencies. The MAP newsletter will accommodate by:
urging all presenters at the MAP meeting 2001 to submit an extended abstract;
easing the previous 2-page limit to 4 pages per contribution;
As a compromise between having your very latest results in the abstracts and distributing the newsletter very soon after the conference, the deadline for receipt of the extended abstracts will be May 8, 2001, in the week before the MAP meeting.
