Re: travel funding for WADT/CoFI 2001 at ETAPS 2001 in Genova

Dear CoFI friends,

Recall that the deadline for priority applications for CoFI WG funding
for travel to WADT/CoFI 2001 at ETAPS in Genova was yesterday.  I

have been received and approved by TG coordinators will be funded at a
rate that is close to but perhaps less than 100%.  The reduction to be
applied depends on how much the claims we receive differ from your
estimates.  There is a separate grant for people from the ex-Soviet
bloc countries and these people will be fully funded.

There is little or no money left to fund further applications, except
for people from ex-Soviet bloc countries.  You can apply but as
already announced the funding we have will be used first for the
people who have already been accepted.

See you in Genova!
