Eighth Biennial Iranian Studies Conference, Los Angeles, 27-30 May 2010

Dear colleagues,

After assessing the recommendations of the Program Committee, and taking
into account the capacity of the conference facilities, the organizers of
the 2010 ISIS conference authorized the publication of the adjudication
process results, which are now available through each applicant’s
individual ISIS account.

To check on the status of your proposal, please log in to "My Account" on
the ISIS website home page, using your personal username and password. The
result will appear at the bottom of the page.

We had many strong proposals this year, and keeping the number of accepted
papers within the limits specified by the organizers was a difficult task.
Please note that all decisions—whether positive or negative—were taken by
the experts on the committee after careful deliberation, and cannot be
reversed.

We plan to send out by e-mail individual notices to applicants within
the next couple of weeks. The notices will confirm the status of their
submissions, and will provide further instructions where necessary.

Allow me to extend to all members of the Program Committee, and especially to the international panel of Adjudicators,  sincere thanks for their dedication, hard work, and expertise!
