Gaurav,

Rosa Pacione has accepted to co-chair the Troposphere session. The email is
axel.ruelke at bkg.bund.de. Please have this email in the abstract submission
system.



More importantly, we need the URL
http://igsworkshop2018.gnsswhu.cn/index/getMessage.do?msg=registrant id,0/1
to be returned to us immediately and automatically, once the registrants
finish the payment through your system, no matter whether he/she pays
successfully or not. This will help us to confirm the successful
registrants. We note that this URL should be sent by requesting the
registrants to click any button on the webpage.



Regards,

Jianghui
