Discussion journal of the Mössbauer Community

[Frank Berry <berryfjz AT bham.ac.uk>]

Frans, Krish and John

Thank you for your commitment to resolve the difficulties concerning ISIAME 
2016.

In my email of yesterday morning I encouraged the community to act 
collegiately and the response of Frans, Krish and John in formulating a 
solution together with emails from colleagues pledging support for the 
Symposium/Forum demonstrates the health  of our community. These positive 
responses clearly show a genuine desire to resolve community problems by 
cooperation and with good will. I think it likely  that the way forward will  
throw up new problems but , with everyone’s  understanding of the need for 
compromise, I am certain that a successful ISIAME/IFIAME will emerge and our 
community will come out of this with confidence and a knowledge  that unity 
and the well being of our community continues to be held in high esteem.

My best wishes to you all

Kind regards

Frank

Dear All

I am fully in support of John's proposals, and will work with Frans on the 
scientific aspects of the Symposium/Forum.

I know that there are seevral abstract that were in readiness for submission. 
With some luck we may have 2 days of scientific presentations.

My best wishes

Krish.

Dear John and Dear All,

I fully agree with the above poposal. The main precondition of the 
realisation is the following: Frans Waanders, Krish Baruth Ram and Raquel 
Richardson should declare that they agree with this program and they will do 
their activity accordingly.

With best regards
Erno

Colleagues,

Apologies: 45 minutes preceding my email below, as I began to write this 
email, my computer decided to send you an email that was in error.

Clarification: A the end of the paragraph under “Forum” the wording should be 
“...involved with organizing ISIAME 2018.” NOT “involved with organizing 
ISIAME 2016.”

John

Greetings Colleagues,

Clearly we have a major challenge confronting us in which we need to be much 
more congenial in order to be able to reach a solution that is in the best 
interest of our Mössbauer Community and assist all those (organizers and 
participants) who have invested in ISIAME.  Based on the emails we have all 
been receiving and other emails, I suggest the following as a way we may be 
able to proceed:

1. Forum.
This is not a conference, but it is a symposium.  Let’s go one step further 
and have the event this September in Cape Town be the International Forum on 
the Applications of the Mössbauer Effect (IFIAME).  The forum would be a 
three day event and would have 20 participants (maybe as many as 30). The 
agenda of the Forum would be to have (1) scientific oral presentations (no 
posters) [1 1/2 days], (2) simple social events [up to 1 day], and an  (3) 
open forum [half day].  The agenda of the open forum would be the state of 
industrial applications of the Mössbauer Effect and planning for the next 
ISIAME to be in 2018 and hosted the the Czech group (future ISIAMEs would be 
every four years after 2018 (2022, 2026…). It is most important that there be 
representatives at the forum who would be involved with organizing ISIAME 
2016.

2. Leadership.
     Scientific Presentations - Frans Waanders and Krish Bharuth
     Forum - Missino Carbucicchio assisted by members of the ISIAME 
Scientific Executive Committee
     Accommodations - Frans Waanders and Raquel Richardson (this is housing 
and meeting space)

3. Finances.
       Reduce and simplify the Registration as a single fee - EUR 250
       All meals to be paid by participants
       Housing - we were quoted EUR 76 per night / online today at the Lagoon 
Beach Hotel the posted cost for single is EUR 86 / using KAYAK the cost is 
EUR 66.  These prices include fees, taxes and service charges.  Whatever the 
actual cost, these numbers seem reasonable at the Lagoon Beach Hotel. I am 
assuming there would be a meeting room there, or nearby that can accommodate 
20-30 people.

There are a lot of details to contend with, but they are manageable. Others 
of you I know will have further suggestions to make this work.  As stated in 
my first paragraph - solution that is in the best interest of our Mössbauer 
Community and assist all those (organizers and participants) who have 
invested in ISIAME.

Hope this might be helpful.

John
