With the deadline for manuscript submission rapidly approaching, several people have already requested an extension. We have decided to move the deadline back by two weeks, to August 15, so that everyone has a chance to submit a paper. However, it would help us out a lot, if you can submit your papers earlier than the August 15 deadline. I hope everyone is making good progress on your manuscripts; we are looking forward to receiving your submissions. Historically the proceedings have been an excellent reference for describing the current state of non-neutral plasma physics, and serves as an important record of the new ideas presented at the workshop.

Based on the questions I have received so far I wanted to clarify and reiterate a few things about the submissions.

Page limits - 8 pages for invited speakers, 6 pages for everyone else.

Please see below for updated versions of the Word template (6x9template.doc), the Author Instructions (6x9instruct.pdf), and a Sample Manuscript (6x9sample.pdf). You will also find the Transfer of Copyright Agreement (AIP_tca.pdf).

Please make sure you follow ALL of the details listed in the Author Instructions file. Feel free to use the Word template provided, however, if you wish to use LaTeX, then please go to the AIP webpage and download the appropriate files.

Please make sure that all of your figures are embedded in the document, and that you convert it to a pdf file (please do not send me Word, postscipt, DVI, or TeX files).

I want to reiterate: please only send me "camera" ready pdf files. This means include all of the figures exactly as you wish them to be published, in a single manuscript file, in pdf format. Also please make sure you do not add any page numbers or use any headers/footers.

When in doubt, please look at the Author Instructions or see the Sample Manuscript.

Lastly, for those who have not done so, please do not forget to fill out and sign the AIP Transfer of Copyright Agreement, then fax or email it to me.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns,
