Some people are asking if CHI 2003 is going ahead given the current
international situation following the Iraq war.

CHI 2003 has not and will not be cancelled.  If you have registered
and booked your travel, there is no need to change anything.  If you
have not registered, visit www.chi2003.org and arrange your travel
now.  We have almost 500 newcomers registered and are looking forward
to meeting CHI regulars in Fort Lauderdale.

For a discussion of the issues arising from a US-based conference
in the current war situation, visit www.chiplace.org.

War and CHI -- let's keep them separate.

Despite the war, CHI 2003 will run normally on 5-10 April in Ft.
Lauderdale. See www.chi2003.org.
