Dear Colleagues,

As you may already know, the Central Eurasian Studies Society (CESS)
is meeting at the University of Toronto this year from October 8-11.
In view of this, and the worsening global economic situation, we have
decided to postpone plans for CIAS 2009 and instead submit panels to
the CESS conference.  See: http://www.cess.muohio.edu/ and
http://www.utoronto.ca/ceres/centralasiaconference.html

We have now submitted proposals for three panels, drawn from
submissions to CIAS 2009. Now it becomes the decision of the CESS
organizers whether or not to include our panels. We are awaiting their
response.  We look forward to the possibility of seeing you in Toronto
in October 2009 and hope that CIAS will return to its normal, more
informal format in 2010.

Sincerely,

Michael Gervers and Nicholas Corbett
