Call for Special Session Proposals, Fall AGU Meeting
-----------------------------------------------------
From: Bill Kurth, Gang Lu, and Michelle Thomsen

Planning for the Fall AGU meeting is beginning, and we are seeking 
suggestions for possible special session topics.  This year, a new web 
tool will be available on the AGU web site (http://www.agu.org/) for you 
to enter your session proposals directly.  The web tool will be available 
from May 3 until June 11.  If you prefer, you may also contact any of the
SPA Secretaries listed below to discuss possible session ideas.  Proposing
a session on the web site or to one of the secretaries is not a guarantee
that the session idea will be accepted, and indeed proposals may be 
modified, combined, or rejected according to the decisions of the full 
Program Committee, which will be meeting near the end of June.  The 
vitality of AGU science and the excitement of the meetings depends on 
your creativity in identifying and proposing sessions to address active 
current research areas. Cross-disciplinary sessions, co-sponsored by 
multiple SPA areas or other sections are particularly encouraged.  Help 
make the Fall AGU a success by submitting your ideas for special sessions!

SPA Secretaries
Bill Kurth (william-kurth@uiowa.edu), Solar-Heliospheric Physics
Gang Lu (ganglu@hao.ucar.edu), Aeronomy
Michelle Thomsen (mthomsen@lanl.gov), Magnetospheric Physics
