Due to a serious fire at the University of Southampton, UK, the  
www2006.org website and mailing lists are temporarily unavailable. We  
expect that services will return soon (and may even be restored by  the 
time you read this email). In the meantime we apologise for any  
confusion that the outage may have caused.

THE SUBMISSION PROCESSES have been unaffected by this fire, only  
information about the submission url, deadlines, tracks, document  
formatting etc has been affected. A temporary replacement website has  
been set up with all the information for submitting papers, panels  and 
tutorials. The paper deadline still stands at midnight November  4th 
2005, Hawaiian time. The panel and tutorial submission deadlines  are 
also unchanged.
