[INDOLOGY] From the Organisers of the 19th WSC in Kathmandu

[Samuel Grimes]

It is nice to hear this update regarding the status of the WSC, and good to
know that it is happening as scheduled. I might point out, however, that it
would behoove the organizers to inform those who have submitted papers
and/or panels *whether or not their papers and/or panels are accepted*. It
would be a shame for the conference to happen as scheduled, but have no one
turn up, due to confusion regarding the status of individual papers.
In any case, I will be there!
