<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Let me also say that this is a great proposal. I was seized by the way it helps me to re-think my research on urban water history. I have dealt with infrastructure in passing -
water reticulation systems - but had not thought about it in the refreshing and amazing ways it can be theorised as is hinted at in the proposal.

<div>This is indeed a wonderful proposal -- I'm very interested! The dates are another story, however. I put my preferences in the Doodle, but at this point I'm not hugely optimistic about getting any of them to work.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As I've mentioned to a few of you, but will now say to the whole group: I do hope we can find a way to settle dates further in advance. Of course it will always be tricky to mesh the schedules of 2 institutions and 40-some people. It seemed like we'd settled
on a travelers-get-dibs principle, but now it appears that this principle doesn't work... or perhaps it's just that to make it work, we need to begin much further in advance. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just to be clear: I don't intend this as a criticism of anyone, in any way! Scheduling is a nightmare, period. I just wonder whether we can find some collective way to make the process work better for everyone.</div>

<div style="direction:ltr; font-family:Tahoma; font-size:10pt">Hi all<br>
<br>
Please find the latest version of the proposal for next year's workshop on urban issues attached. We are still trying to determine dates, with May seeming the be what people are gravitating towards. June and July have come up as possibilities, but these would
be extremely difficult for many people on the South African side, and so don't seem to viable except as last resorts. Please would anyone who has a preference send a message to the list. The proposal is still open to some revision if there is an issue that
people feel has been left unaddressed. <br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Claudia<br>
