Dear Mark,

Were you able to contact Joris? Do you have any updates for the session on Monday?

Thank you very much.

Warm regards,

Dear Mark,

Joris contacted me earlier this week informing me that he won’t be able to attend, and I was under the assumption that he informed you too. You can find his email below.

You can contact him to confirm. In the case there is no other discussant available, as instructed in the email you shared regarding chair duty, we could allocate a bit more time for questions and the second discussant, and I could share some comments in a more informal way to stimulate the discussion.

I am confident the session will go great.

I remain at your disposal.

Warm regards,

Anthi Kiouka

Dear Anthi,

I just noticed that I am listed as a discussant for the session you will chair at DRUID. Due to a change in my flight-times made after booking I unfortunately cannot attend this session. I also informed the conference organizers. I will share my comments with the authors by email.

Best,

Joris Knoben

Dear Anthi

We have recived no message from Joris Knoben. Did he contact us about being able to disuss?

It is not possible to change the timings of sessions. That would entail arranging with not just a second discussant, but also up to 6 presenters and a chair, who typically all have other roles at the conference at other times. At any time, there are up to 20 parallel sessions at DRUID.

Please, can Joris contact us immediately, so we may try to allocate another discussant, even at this extremely late time.

Kind regards

Du får ikke ofte mails fra anthi.kiouka@unil.ch. Få mere at vide om, hvorfor dette er vigtigt

Dear organizers,

As you know, Prof.  Knober won’t be able to attend parallel session no. 96 as discussant on Monday.

Would you be able to share with me the email of the second discussant, Prof. Rene Carraz to discuss with him about the change of timing for the session? It might be useful to inform him in advance.

Thank you very much for your help.

Warm regards,
