I now have quite a few people willing to join the working group. Some off list as well. Some have specified willingness to participate by e-mail only. I think that some meetings will be necessary though. I shall try to convene a meeting in the not too distant future and we shall e-mail the results of the discussion to those who only want to participate by e-mail and ask for their views in that way. I am glad that FISH can participate. I am putting you, Jason, on my e-mail working group list. I am glad that this seems to be taking off at last.
