Dear Participants,

This is the 1st circular of the Subaru-Keck Synergy Workshop to be
held for 1-2 Sep in Sendai. Thank you very much for accepting to
participate in the meeting and give contributions. We look forward to
seeing you all.

For those who give science or instrumentation talks, we expect to hear
also your frank visions/opinions to the Subaru-Keck collaborations in
the future, and we will ask you in due course some common items to be
included in your talks, such as possible collaboration thema, the
numebr of nights you request on the partner's telescope, etc.

In the meanwhile, we ask you all to fill the form below and send it
back to us, by 7th June, so that we can make a more detailed program
and also arrange the discussion sessions.

We imagine that some of you would give a business talk rather than a
science or instrumentation talk, and please indicate so in the form if
you prefer such an option.

We would also like to hear what and how you want to discuss in the
discussion sessions.
