SECOND CALL - so far we received nothing! are there no volunteers
on this list? (i.e. isn't there anyone else who wants to submit
submit a proposal one day? :-D )
Cheers,
Michael
PS: as has been rightly pointed out, that "statement on safeness"
which I referred to in this email is in fact not in the abstract
of this draft but in the conclusion section
