Dear fellow-categorists, As most of you will know, the Advisory Committee on CT meetings was set up in 2005, with the aims of ensuring that international category theory conferences are held on a reasonably regular basis, and of providing assistance and advice for the organizers of such meetings. The Committee has no official status, and no executive authority. Since its inception, the Committee has been chaired by Bill Lawvere. However, Bill recently informed us of his wish to step down from the Committee, in order to concentrate on other projects that are important to him. The other members of the Committee would like publicly to record our great indebtedness to Bill for his sound chairmanship and wise advice over the past five years, and to wish him well for the other projects he is pursuing. Having no formal constitution, we have decided that the Committee should continue without a Chairman, but with the writer of this note continuing to act as Convenor, as I have done up to now. We have, however, decided to reinforce the Committee by recruiting two new members, and we are delighted to be able to announce that Eugenia Cheng and George Janelidze have agreed to join it with immediate effect. The Committee's current membership is thus Eugenia Cheng <e.cheng@sheffield.ac.uk> Maria Manuel Clementino <mmc@mat.uc.pt> George Janelidze <janelg@telkomsa.net> Peter Johnstone <ptj@dpmms.cam.ac.uk> Ross Street <ross.street@mq.edu.au> Walter Tholen <tholen@mathstat.yorku.ca> Myles Tierney <tierney.myles@uqam.ca> Richard Wood <rjwood@mathstat.dal.ca> Anyone who may be thinking of organizing an international CT meeting is welcome to contact any member of the Committee -- but particularly the undersigned -- at any time. We should be particularly glad to hear from anyone who may have plans for 2012 or 2013 at this point. Peter Johnstone [For admin and other information see: http://www.mta.ca/~cat-dist/ ]
