By all accounts, the meeting was a great success. The
team at McMaster did an outstanding job organizing the meeting, and the
presenters provided us with a set of provocative and at times very entertaining
papers. Thank you all for your hard work. Moves are afoot to find a venue
for the next meeting, very likely to be held on the west coast.
