<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear
<span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0">Tõnis, all,</span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0">thanks for sharing the proposal. Happy to see interest from Mostar to host our European conference! <br></span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0"><br></span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0">In general I am fully supportive and already looking forward to another great conference in a beautiful place. </span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0">However, I think some aspects of the proposals should be better described:</span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0"><br></span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0">- Luca rightly mentioned the absence of info about the Local Organising Committee, which is key to make the conference a success. Some info on the people would be necessary already at this stage, at least to know who would be the Chair, who would be in the main team and if/what experience they have.<br></span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0">- I am not very convinced by the opening and closing ceremonies in a theatre located 500 metres away from the university, where the parallel sessions happen. 500 metres is quite a distance and this may impact the overall organisation (times, location of sponsors, coffee breaks, etc.). Also, the proposal mentions the opening and closing sessions only, but also the plenary sessions with keynote speakers are sessions that in principle all participants will attend. Perhaps a theatre room at the university (like those shown in Figures 12 and 13) may be enough?</span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0"><br></span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0">I can in principle offer again my availability to co-organise the Academic Track in partnership with the International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS), and I'm sure I can count on the support and contribution of many other European colleagues. However, as done in the past few years, full support and commitment from some (academic) members of the local committee would be needed. To me, this is a necessary condition to start the whole process. Some feedback from the local team on this would be welcome.<br></span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0"><br></span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0">Happy to continue the discussion.</span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0">All the best,</span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0">Marco<br></span></span></div><div><span><span class="gmail-Y8pC0"><br> </span></span></div>
