Dear Colleagues,

A short resume of our first but not the last, as i believe, conference call.

Point by point

1. Establish the e-mailing list of organizers for
further communication.

It has been done, but only Anatoli has all addresses, I think.

The full list has to include at the first stage, in my understanding
1. Anatoli Korkin,
2. Evgenii Gusev,
3. Masha Oseeva,
4. Jan Labanowski, and 4 persons from St.Petersburg Local Organizing
Committee:
5. Alexander Vul'
6. Sergey Kidalov,
7. Vadim Siklitsky,
8. Irina Vorobieva.

Anatoli, please add all addresses.

2. Start forming Program Committee (Section organizers)
and International Advisory Board.

A preliminary list of the Program Committee has to be completed in about two
months.
It is required to revise the former list of the Nano&Giga 2002 (Anatoli,
Evgeni) and discuss this point by e-mail and during next telephone
call.
We have just now only three persons in my understanding:
Korkin, Gusev and Vul'
I will submit some persons from St.Petersburg after discussion with my
colleagues at Ioffe Institute, in particular with vice-chairman
Prof. Petr Kopiev.

3. Start sending letters and proposals to the potential
sponsors.

Anatoli and Masha have big experience in this point and probably will
be responsible for this point.
A list of possible sponsors could include the former sponsors at the
first stage.
For the possible sponsors in Russia it is need to prepare a draft of
the letter to sponsor (in Russian).

4. Start to make a preliminary list of invited speakers.
A preliminary list of invited speakers and topics will be prepared
Korkin, Gusev and Vul' by the next conference call.


5. Define venue. Suggested: St Petersburg hotel or education center
of Ioffe Institute.
6. Define how many days the conference will take and its framework.
Suggested: 2 days for the Summer School and 3 days for Symposium.

The decision is the following:
In accordance to good experience of the first Nano&Giga
conference a rule must be set:
NANO&GIGA conference consists of two
days of school for students and young scientists and three days of
scientific conference.
At Nano&Giga'2004 the two days school will be placed at the Education
Center of Ioffe Institute (September 13-14,2004) and the conference at
Hotel St.Petersburg (September 15-17,2004).


7. Prepare a draft of the conference budget considering that we
may have ~500 participants with about 300 of them being foreigners
(including former USSR republics).

A draft of the conference budget has been prepared by the Local
Organizing Committee (file was sent to Anatoli). It would be discussed
by the next conference call.
The budget based on assumption that a number of participants is about 500.
It is need that the Local Organizing Committee specifies
possibility to get a discount from the hotel St.Petersburg if a number
of the participants will be about 200 but not less than 100.


8. Define the coordination between the local webmaster (Siklitsky)
and ASDN webmaster (Labanowski) and prepare the first draft of
the NGCM2004 web site.

A list of tasks on this point has been prepared by Siklitsky and sent
to Anatoli by e-mail as a file. It is need to make decision based on
this list by the next conference call.

Best wishes,
Yours sincerely A.Ya.
