  be opened expectedly from February 2011 and nomination deadline
  for both the Normal list and the President's list is April 30.\\
     The Section Committee will evaluate and rank the Normal nominations
  and send it to the Nominations Subcommittee for further evaluation,
  on May 31. Then the Nominations Subcommittee also evaluates these.
  Then on Sept. 19 Section Chairs and Nominations Subcommittee will 
  form a final recommendation to the Council for new memberships on 
  the Normal list.\\
     The Presidents and the Nominations Subcommittee (eventually with 
  the Section Chairs ?) on Sept. 19-20, will form a final 
  recommendation to the Council for new   memberships on the 
  Presidents' list.\\

#The 2011 AE Annual General Conference will be held in Paris, between
  Sept. 19-22, 2011.  The Section aims for a strong representation in the
  programme. The arrangements regarding the Conference programme will 
  be coordinated by the vice-chair of the Section, Marie Farge (Paris).
#The Section Committee plans to have an open SC meeting in Darmstadt
  (at GSI) during February or March 2011. A one day meeting is envisaged
  on Friday with arrival the previous evening and departure late afternoon
  on Friday or the next day. The participants are expected to cover their 
  own expenses. In case of financial difficulties the AE London office
  may be able to cover airfare and one or two night accommodation for
  SC members who request it.  The meeting will discuss (i) actions for 
  reaching the needed 40 nominations, (ii) plans for the Paris AE Annual
  General Conf. in September, (iii) other possible joint projects, meetings,
