It is important that SO GLOBEC receive wide publicity and feedback from the larger community. Therefore, we need to develop a list of meetings where SO GLOBEC should be featured and assign various members of the planning group the responsibility of publicizing the program at these meetings, either through oral or poster presentations. All planning group members are requested to come prepared to discuss this.
