Meeting of the Working Group on Active B Stars at the
26th IAU General Assembly in Prague, Czech Republic
Call for Contributed Talks

The Working Group on Active B Stars has been allocated three hours (2 sessions) for a business and scientific meeting at the IAU General Assembly in Prague, Czech Republic. The meeting is scheduled from 09:00-10:30 and 11:00-12:30 on Friday, August 18, 2006 in Club C at the Congress Center. As usual the business meeting should be short, leaving nearly 2.5 hours for scientific talks. If you would like to present a talk during this meeting, please send us a title for your presentation ASAP. We welcome longer, research-oriented talks as well as brief announcements or updates on current activities of interest to the Working Group members. We envision presentations lasting from 5-30 minutes, including discussion. As in the past, we plan to publish the proceedings of the business and scientific meetings in the Be Star Newsletter.

To appear in the Program Book for the IAU GA, the final program must be submitted to the IAU by the end of June, so please let us know soon if you would like to give a talk. As evidenced at the GA in Sydney, publication of the program is quite important as it is likely to draw attendees who are not currently members of our Working Group. Please submit your title and the requested time for your presentation to: benews@mucen.usc.edu. We are looking forward to seeing you in Prague in August.
