Organizing Committee

The meeting will be open, but funding from CMI will most likely be limited to invited participants. We may have a bit of additional funding through MIT for other participants; contact Kiran Kedlaya.

On December 5, we also plan to hold the first Sage Education Day, coordinated by Karl-Dieter Crisman.
