>Dear BAER Conference constituent,
>
>As many of you are aware, following the 2000 BAER Conference in Seattle, a
>group of individuals incorporated as a
>non-profit organization and filed for trademark protection in the states of
>Washington and Hawaii for various names commonly
>used to refer to the Conference. Among these are:
>
> BAER Conference;
> Bioassay Conference;
> BAER 2001;
> Bioassay, Analytical, Environmental and Radiochemistry Conference; and
> The 47th Annual Conference on Bioassay, Analytical, and Environmental
>Radiochemistry.
>
>Following what we believe to be the wishes of the conference constituents
>as voted on at the 45th and 46th Annual
>Conferences in Gaithersburg and Seattle, we have continued to plan for the
>47th Annual Conference to be held in Honolulu.
>However, we recently received a letter from legal counsel for the
>"incorporated" group informing us that we must stop using any
>of the trademarked names to refer to the conference we are organizing.
>
>In order to prevent any potential legal action that might impact our
>ability to hold this conference as scheduled, the organizing
>committee has decided to comply with their request. We have thus agreed to
>rename the Conference "Radiochemical
>Measurements Conference" on an interim basis. A discussion of a new,
>permanent name will be on the agenda for the business
>meeting to be held during the Conference in Honolulu.
>
>The Ala Moana Hotel in Honolulu has been notified of this name change.
>Please be aware that when reserving hotel rooms for the
>Conference, you may need to mention the interim name, "Radiochemical
>Measurements Conference." Another practical
>consideration of this name change is that all posters should reference the
>interim conference name and NOT the 47th Annual
>Conference on Bioassay, Analytical, and Environmental Radiochemistry.
>
>If you have any questions about this matter, please don't hesitate to
>contact any of the conference organizers. A copy of the
>letter requesting us to "cease and desist" has been posted on the
>historical conference web site at www.bioassay.org . We
>do not expect that this minor change will have any impact on the success of
>the conference. We have an excellent program with
>100+ presentations, full vendor support and many activities planned. We
>look forward to seeing you in Hawaii!

>Yours truly,
