      New members nominations:

      • Are Strandlie, NTNU in Gjøvik, Norway - nominated by Rudolf Frühwirth
      • Andreas Salzburger, CERN (ATLAS)  - nominated by Markus Elsing

      CTD/WIT2017 members whom expressed interests to stay in the CTD2018 program committee

      • Rudolf Frühwirth, Austrian Academy of Sciences,  CMS
      • Martin Heck,  Karlsruhe, Germany (Belle II tracking conveners)
      • And others?

      Once CTD2018 program committee is formed. I'll set up new mailing list, spreadsheet of talks, and schedule kick-off meeting to populate spreadsheet. New committee will fix the date and also decide if we call for abstracts or have all talks by invitation only.
      Q: shall we meet in two weeks time scale for the CTD2018 kick-off meeting?
