Yep, I had heard about the plans for coming back to Stanford a while ago
(it was already rumored in St. Etienne, right?).

So, if you think I am the adequate (or the only available? ;-) person to do
this, I'll happily be your "Paper review process organizer" again. The success
of that of course greatly depends on the availability of reviewers, but I
had no problems in finding enough people in the last years when I was
involved.

So, March 2019 then as the next LAC date, hm..I might be sent to the US by my
employer around that time for a job rotation, which would make participating a
possibility for me even (I'd work in Folsom for 2 months, near Sacramento, so
just some 150km from Stanford).
That would be really cool since I am not sure if I'd come based entirely on
my own expenses.. :-).

Greetings, and happy preparations for now,
Frank
