Dear Ontology Summit 2012 Advisory Committee Members:
 
Nicola and I, as general co-chairs of Ontology Summit 2012, wish to thank you for serving on the Ontology Summit 2012 Advisory Committee.
 
However, we are now retiring the Ontology Summit 2012 Advisory Committee given that the Ontology Summit 2013 Launch Event has occurred (January 17, 2013). Please see:

 24, 2013):

We invite you to contribute to this year’s summit "OntologySummit2013: Ontology Evaluation Across the Ontology Lifecycle"; please see details at:

 information posted at: 
http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?ConferenceCall_2013_01_31. 
 
We are now starting to work with a new set of guidelines for Advisory Committee membership, and a good number of the current advisors will be getting invitations from our Ontology Summit 2013 General Co-chairs shortly:
