Thanks Ed - it is, as you say, something for Timelines next year (which I,
for one, am looking forward to!)
ps. the FISH panels idea certainly has my support - with the proviso that we
ensure there is some form of central communication point so that each panel
informs and is kept informed about important developments
best wishes to all
Isabel
