    Dear program committee members,<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp; I have a couple of updates to share with you.<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp; Firstly, we have to ask for your permission to split the welcome
    speech and keynote speech.&nbsp; Although Dr.Murai accepted the offer of
    the keynote speech, he has another appointment in the early morning
    on 18th so that he can only be present at 11:30AM.&nbsp; We would like to
    propose the change of the program as follows.&nbsp; I am sorry for this
    last minute change but Dr.Murai is very famous in Japan and I think
    it is worth to change the schedule to have a speech from him.<br>

    &nbsp; Secondly, we decided to offer a bag for each attendant so that it
    is possible to distribute brochures.&nbsp; We will also prepare a desk
    near the registration for last minute distribution of brochures.<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp; Due to Dr.Fujikawa's great effort in the arrangement, all sessions
    will be held on the same floor of the newest building in the
    campus.&nbsp; The main hall is designed as an international conference
    center and it has interpretation facilities.&nbsp; The other session
    rooms will be typical classroom style with a projector.&nbsp; The
    facilities that we will prepare are as follows.&nbsp; Please be reminded
    that the Internet access will be shared by U-Stream so that we may
    need to shape traffic if it hurts video streaming.<br>
    Main hall<br>
    - Simultaneous interpretation<br>
    - English transcription<br>
    - U-Stream<br>
    - Projector<br>
    - Internet access<br>
    Room A<br>
    - Simultaneous interpretation<br>
    - U-Stream<br>
    - Projector<br>
    - Internet access<br>
    Room B<br>
    - U-Stream<br>
    - Projector<br>
    - Internet access<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp; Lunch will be offered to all attendants.&nbsp; We plan to issue tickets
    at the registration that you can use from 8 menus at the cafeteria
    on the 1st (ground) floor of the building.&nbsp; It is highly recommended
    to pre-register for logistical reasons.&nbsp; We will have an open
    reception on the first night (18th) for all attendants and a closed
    reception for sponsors and speakers on the third night.<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp; Unfortunately, I may not be able to attend the next teleconference
    due to a JAIPA event for Internet security.&nbsp; If there is any concern
    in changing the program as above, I would like to ask for early
    comments in emails.<br>
    <br>
    &nbsp; I look forward to seeing you in Tokyo.<br>
