Mark:
I have already committed to attending the Consortium on Competitiveness and
Cooperation (CCC) Conference for Doctoral Student Research at the
University of St Gallen over JUN 08-10. I suspect many other academics are
attempting to combine CCC and DRUID this year, given the
European locations. The CCC Conference ends @ 13:30 on JUN 10, which means
I am unavailable to act as a discussant on JUN 10 (per the email below). I
apologize for this.
Is it possible to assign me as a discussant on either JUN 11 or JUN 12? I
am quite happy to serve as one. Please advise at your earliest convenience.
I recognize that you likely receive many such requests, which makes your
job more difficult. I don't take this one lightly.
Best,
Jeff Macher.
