Rescheduling WAFL6
Dear WAFL6 Participant,
We regret to inform you that we must postpone WAFL6 planned for May 22-24, 2009, at Nagoya University in Japan. This is due to the outbreak of swine flu, and the particularly aggressive stance that the Japanese government has taken in attempting to prevent the influenza from spreading into the country. Holding the meeting at this point would put the participants coming from abroad at risk of being placed in a dire stuation such as quarantine, or even a last-minute cancellation of the meeting should the situation deteriorate further.
We have rescheduled the WAFL6 meeting for September 4-6, 2009. Nagoya University has agreed to continue to be the host for the meeting.
We understand that this will cause a great deal of inconvenience, and we regret that we were forced to make this decision.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Jaklin Kornfilt (kornfilt@syr.edu), Founding Organizer
