Again, we will attempt to arrive at decisions by October 26, for everyone to finalize and submit their abstracts, and if not chosen, to submit a poster instead. (Please note, however, that space for posters is limited, so it might be wise to submit poster abstracts well before October 26). Speakers will be instructed to submit their abstracts by November 6, 2015.

Hi,
ICGI will hold its 2016 Biennial meeting in conjunction with the World Cotton Research Conference-6, May 2 - 6, 2016, in Goiânia - Goiás, Brazil.
We can now register for our 2016 meeting: I have received word that the website for registration and abstract submission is now open:
http://www.wcrc-6.com/ <http://www.wcrc-6.com/>
Please share this information with any colleagues or collaborators interested in cotton (WCRC and ICGI), especially anyone interested in any aspects of cotton genomics (ICGI) for whom ICGI lacks their correct email addresses.
Information about membership and contact information, editing of account information can be found at https://www.cottongen.org/icgi/members <https://www.cottongen.org/icgi/members>
If someone sends you this notice, but you did not get it from ICGI, then you should check the ICGI website, and update your email address information, so that you receive future emails properly.
I hope to see you in Goiânia!!!
Obrigado,

Dear ICGI members,
Tomorrow (March 16) will be the end of the 30 day period for the ICGI 2015 election. At present, only 40% (307 of 767) of members have voted, so that it is very unlikely that we will reach 50% by the end of tomorrow.
Per our bylaws, we will therefore extend the election for two weeks, to the end of the day on March 29. Also per our bylaws, balloting will close after March 29, regardless of the % of the membership that has voted.
Please exercise your most important right and responsibility -- vote!
Thanks,
Tianzhen Zhang, Chair
