Dear Ximo and Björn.

The time for the symposium, for the collectors, is indeed best in June, so
count me in on this part.
For the symposium it is very good to have all participants close to each
other. The option in Monschau is a very good one, and close to very nice
nature. For the postsymposium trip this is really great.
The costs are rather high, but I think anywhere in west Europe you will
have these prices.
So for me lets have it in June in Monschau.

Jeroen.
