Stanford, California, USA   December 9-11, 1999

This will be a small informal workshop with 30-40 participants, similar to the joint GOLF/MDI/VIRGO team meetings that we have had at Stanford in the past. There will be no financial support for this meeting. The purpose of this  meeting is to discuss the progress in  the low-l measurements from space and ground-based instruments.  More specifically, we would like to address the following topics:

   1. Properties of the low-l p modes (frequencies, frequency splitting, line widths, asymmetry);
     intercomparison among different instruments.
   2. Peak-fitting procedures; results of the Hare-and-Hounds exercise.
   3. Optimal and quasi-optimal masks for p- and g-modes, and mode identification.
   4. G-mode search and current limits on g-mode amplitudes.
   5. New data analysis techniques (wavelets, denoising, cross-spectra etc)
   6. Other topics of interest.
