<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleague,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am writing to you now to see if you, or someone you know, might be interested in participating in a Symposium on Pollination Down Under during an Annual Conference of the Australian Ecological Society.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am sure you would agree that <span lang="EN-AU">pollination is an essential and major ecosystem function for the Australian region and elsewhere. However, the current level of down-under research in this area seems relatively low compared
with previously and with the rest of the world, and there is no longer an active collective of Australasian pollination ecologists. A symposium could reveal the extent of current pollination research in this area, how important it is, and where it might be
headed.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Potential topics include:<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Such a symposium has been approved for the 2015 ESA Annual Conference, but I have realised that I really left it too late to get going with rounding up potential participants.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">I am therefore now seeking interest in the 2016 ESA Annual Conference.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">So please let me know if you, or someone you know, possibly a student or colleague, might be interested in participating in such a symposium.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU">Please also look at the distribution list for this email and get back to me if you notice that I have omitted anyone.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
