Minutes for the 2018 CSEWG Meeting

Conference status: US National Nuclear Data Week 2018 is exempt from being considered a conference
Registration
If you haven't done so, please become a BNL Indico user before registering.
Please note:
a) Due to limited seating space, USNDP attendance is limited to members and invited participants.
b) Attendance to the NCSP-NDAG meeting is limited to current members only.
Session Managers
The managers of each session are responsible for adding and ordering contributions (see Manager's help). Once a contribution has been added, and assuming the manager has allowed the presenter to submit the contribution, the presenter may submit (or "Add Material") his or her talk anytime from the "My Contributions" menu item.
Submitting contributions
Participants must upload their contributions to the Indico system before their presentation. The preferred format is pdf. Power point and Keynote presentations are acceptable, but will be converted to pdf for the proceedings. Please consult instructions for uploading the material (note that you may upload additional files, e.g., data, documents, plots, etc. in support of the actual presentation).

Please note that non-U.S. nationals need to complete the GIS form no later than 35 days before the meetings.
