[Air-L] Fantasy and the Net panel (IR.11)

[Frans Mäyrä]

Hi all,

Considering the recent extension of conference deadline, also the 
internal deadline for the Fantasy and the Net panel abstracts moves 
forward, to new internal deadline: Thursday, 25th February. Hopefully 
this will help a bit all those of you who consider participating in the 
session.

Cheers; - Frans
