Hi folks, Here are initial details of the NM-WG sessions Richard and I will be holding at GGF13 in Seoul. The exact times are yet to be fixed, but I wanted to send you this email as advance notice. Thank you to Yuetsu Kodama from the Japanese National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology for volunteering to give a talk. We are still looking for one or two more Asia-Pacific speakers. Hopefully more people will volunteer now that we have confirmed sessions! Hope to see you there, Mark.
