   - Issue: It took us long to sort our abstracts, because we spent time to sort out joint mini-symposia first. Other divisions got to the white board before we did, took most of Saturday and Sunday slots. After some semi-tense negotiation, we got some Saturday and Sunday slots, but we did not get a "fair share" of Saturday.   - Issue: It took us long to sort our abstracts, because we spent time to sort out joint mini-symposia first.

   - Suggestions for future: In ADVANCE of the sorting meeting, the program committee sorters agree on which time slots on Sat/Sun/Mon/Tue would be best for DPF sessions and claim them to get our fair share. Or APS allocates slots for each day for each division, based on the number of abstracts.   - Suggestions for future: In ADVANCE of the sorting meeting, the program committee sorters agree on which time slots on Sat/Sun/Mon/Tue would be best for DPF sessions and claim them to get our fair share.

-==== The List of Categories - submitted to Eric Barth in Spring 2018 for the 2019 April Meeting ==== 
-The names of the program committee members willing to help sorters with the defined categories is also shown. THe abstracts will be pre-sorted by the submitters according to this list.  However, the sorters will be able to give different titles to the actual sessions depending on the submitted abstracts (for example mini-symposia or forums).   This list helps the sorters identify the abstracts rather than necessarily group them in the same session. It can also be used to encourage submission of abstracts of a certain type.
