Dear anh Nhan,

I vote for No 2 (extending to June 1) but suggest to write to authors to =
invite them individually. With my personal experience, I think that is the =
way to work with any Vietnamese groups. If you know someone who knows them =
personally, ask them to invite authors for you.

Best of luck,

Dear VTIC2003 Organizing Committee:

First of all, thank you for your suggestions on what to do next with =
VTIC2003.  Please send me your vote on one of the following 2 options:

1)  Postpone VTIC2003 to next year (2004).
2)  Extend the abstract submission deadline to June 1, 2003.  The full =
paper deadline will be pushed by one month.  This option will require =
aggressive approach to potential authors.

You have 48 hours to cast a vote.  I will send out the decision by 6PM =
5/8/2003.

Thank you for your time and effort.

Regards,

Nhan

 There may be a number of reasons for the low number of submission this =
year.  Two possible main reasons are (1) the current economic situation =
and (2) proximity (time) of this to VTIC2002.

I will then post all the options to the organizing committee for a quick =
vote.
