With the short fuse to commit to housing, things are evolving over time. Here is the current understanding of the situation: - If you want to benefit from our group rate, it must be done through registration for the MPI Forum. There does not appear to be another way to do this. - There are two hotels that will be available: New Haroula Hotel (currently available) and Daedalus Hotel (should be available "soon") - Cutoff date for these is 7/20/2011 We could reserve a block of rooms with a later expiration date, but this would involve committing funds to this. Given that this will be a very expensive meeting, we are not going to commit to hotel rooms. Rich
