I would like to let you know that the call for abstracts is now open at http://iufro2017.com/call-for-abstracts and the deadline for abstract submission is 30 November. Now would be a good time for you to contact prospective speakers for your session and ask them to submit their abstracts indicating proposal number *116*, *“9.05.08 - Forest and Natural Resources Policy and Governance in Latin America and the Caribbean”* in the Congress segment: *All Division 9 (Forest Policy and Economics) Meeting* as their first choice for inclusion in the program. As the abstract submission deadline approaches, we will be contacting you again to provide you with information on how to log into the Congress database. You will be asked to log in from *1-15 January* and review the abstracts submitted to your session. When you login you will be presented with a list of abstracts that have been submitted for inclusion in your session. You will then indicate which sessions that you wish to include. The Congress program will include time slots ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 hours in length. We anticipate that most presentations will be 15 minutes in length. If your session receives an extremely large number of presentation submissions, it may be possible for us to allocate more than one time slot. I apologize that the 1-15 January review period may be a time when several of you may be unavailable. If that is going to be the case, please contact me to designate an alternative reviewer of abstracts proposed for your session. Thanks for your assistance and let me know if you have any questions.
