*Important note*
Some projects or teams will have more to report in September 2010 than they can summarise in an abstract written in February 2010. To take account of this, the Co-Chairs of the Conference Committee emphasise that: “in judging proposals, ALT Reviewers will take an understanding attitude regarding proposals referring to or reporting on work taking place between now and the date of the conference”.
