Re: e2r: selection of papers and format of symposium

Hi Klaus,

If you and the other symposium co-chairs think that papers 5, 6, and 15 
would add valuable contribution to the symposium and the ensuing report 
then I'm certainly in favor for including them.

Do you expect to have a short break after these panel discussions then 
have another open discussion session after the break? I'm not sure what 
you mean by "Follow up discussion for interested people".

Best,
   Shadi
