            Yes, I think the proposal is a good one for Marrakech.  We

                      <br>
                      Greetings and Thanks for your email. To answer
                      your question: "Yes" and "Certainly". NPOC has
                      made some organizational arrangements that give us
                      the possibility to arrange for events, but this is
                      just the organizational platform. What we need to
                      do now is to put some flesh on the bones. I
                      therefor would like to invite you all to make some
                      recommendation with regard to the topics,
                      rationale, structure and even possible speakers
                      for specific speakers. We should collect these
                      suggestions and then decide on which to implement
                      and how. May I suggest that the deadline for
                      suggestions is the 10th of January 2016 and that
                      we will then arrange for a call to discuss
                      proposals.<br>
                      <br>
                      Looking forward to your suggestions<br>
