Sorry about that Cressida. I have your email details incorrect on my contacts list (I currently am sending papers for your attention to [log in to unmask]). I've not received any message to tell me that address isn't reaching you. I'll update my details and send you copies of the papers from the recent meeting. Your query prompts me to ask a wider question of all list members, as part of our debate about the future. Do we need a separate category of 'non-attending' members? Given that we now have a well established mailing list and web site, would it be an option to simpy treat all of the list subscribers as non-attending members, and post agendas, minutes and papers to the list archive where anyone who wants to can get them? The pros and cons I can see of this are:- Pro *The whole list membership gets to see in more detail how FISHEN runs itself, so there is a better sense of community / accountability etc. *Administrative work is simplified by removing a separate circulation of papers etc. Con *It would be difficult to be sure that FISHEN papers and other vital information were reaching specific people in relevant organisations. *If you don't have email you would effectively be excluded from involvement (I'm less and less convinced by this arguement given the number of ways of getting email access these days - do we have any list members reading this on their TV or mobile phone yet?) I would welcome comments from all list members on this, as well as our existing non-attending members.

Should I have received anything? with best wishes Cressida Cressida Chappell, Head of the History Data Service, Data Archive, University of Essex, Wivenhoe Park, Colchester, CO4 3SQ, UK.
