> After discussions between the Program Committee for SCMS Tokyo,  
> Josai  University and others, an alternative conference to SCMS has  
> been put  in place. The details are as follows:
>
> 1)      Josai International University will host a one-day  
> conference  under the heading, ?The Josai International University  
> Media Studies  Department Media Workshop.?  The event is hosted by  
> Dean EN  Fukuyuki, Dean of Media Studies.  The conference will be  
> held on  Saturday, May 23 from 10 AM to 5 PM at the Josai Kioichô  
> Campus (the  original conference site).
> 2)      Josai will provide 5 large classrooms, including the Main   
> Hall for presentations, discussions, workshops.  We still need to   
> determine the event?s details, but much of this will depend on how   
> many people plan to attend, and what sorts of events that people   
> envision.  We will work on this, along with others who have stepped   
> up, in the coming week. There may be additional events on or off  
> site  on Friday and/or Sunday that will be confirmed in the coming  
> days.
> 3)      Josai will still provide masks, hand sanitizers, and health   
> forms, but the use of these materials will be voluntary.
> 4)      The event will be free and open to the public.
> 5)      Because SCMS cancelled the conference and requested a full   
> refund for all hotel reservations, JTB was forced to cancel all  
> hotel  reservations for the conference, and incurred a substantial  
> loss.   They will no longer be handling hotel bookings for  
> attendees, so  those reservations will need to be made individually.
>
> It is absolutely necessary that we can confirm as soon as possible   
> the number of participants, so PLEASE CONVEY THE FOLLOWING   
> INFORMATION to aaron.gerow at yale.edu by 6:00 AM (Eastern Daylight   
> Time), March 16, 2009:
>
> 1) Your intention to participate.
>
> 2) Do you also intend to present a paper?
>
> 3) If so, what is the title of the paper? What was the original  
> panel  number in the SCMS schedule?
>
> 4) Please provide your name, institutional affiliation, e-mail   
> address, current address and, if known or if different, your contact  
>  address in Japan.
>
> 5) The special screening at the National Film Center planned for  
> SCMS  on Friday, March 22, between 1 and 4 pm is still on the books,  
> but  the NFC has requested a list of attendees beforehand. Attached  
> below  is the original flier. Please also indicate whether you  
> intend to  attend this screening as well. (A small fee may be  
> charged depending  on the number of attendees.)
