constructive opinions about the present and future directions of IGAC research. We would
like to see Young Scientists organize themselves over the course of the week to produce a
VISION for IGAC research and a 5-minute Wrap-Up statement which they will present at
the Thursday Banquet. Email ys AT icacgp-igac-2010.ca if you are interested in this.
