--------------------------------------------------------- Dear Colleagues, On behalf of ALCSC and ACFA, it is my great pleasure and honor to announce that we selected the new LC name, Global Linear Collider (GLC). Dr. Bhawalkar, ACFA Chairman, Prof. Komamiya, ALCSC and ILCSC member, and myself had a meeting on April 18, 2003 in Indore, India. Reviewing all the returns from ACFA and ALCSC members, we found that "GLC" got the most votes for the new LC name out of 5 final candidates by the LC Promotion Committee. We would like to thank everybody who participated in uggestion and votes for the new LC name. Prof. Kawabata of KEK has the database for the suggested name of "Global Linear Collider." I believe that he will acknowledge individuals for the winning name. With this new name, we are confident that the Global Linear Collider will be realized in the near future. Sincerely yours, Won Namkung ALCSC Chair April 27, 2003 ---------------------------------------------------------
