Hi Annie and Carl
I'd be happy to send a copy of the letter on behalf of many of the comments that were made at the conf. However, exactly what the status of the letter would be might be a bit tricky for some people, for eaxample, I'd be ok to send it with the description 'as a resolution passed at the 10th Annual community psychology conference' providing there are no major objections. Anonther consideration is time, all responses must be submitted by the end of this week.
I suggest that I will submit the letter as circulated and form the conference by Wednesday of this week unless I hear to the contrary from people. I would also encourage everyone to send an individual copy to the scrutiny committee with a cc to your MP.
Bob

Hi Bob
I would just like to add my support to Annie's comments. My thoughts on
reading your letter were that "this looks like the document that those at
the conference voted to have sent on their behalf".

>Hi Bob,
Many thanks for doing this for us. My sense was at the conference that
those
of us present at the end when we discussed this would like this to go from
us
collectively if possible. I realise that this is difficult as we were not
all
there at the end, that conference attenders ( nor discussion list members)
are
not in any sense a representative group of community psychologists, because
we
cannot all see the letter and comment in time to change it if we wished to
do
so, and in any case because community psychologists have no collective
identity in any formal sense. Nevertheless the feeling at the conference
was
that a message of this kind from us collectively, as well as us all doing
something individually would be more powerful . Bob, do you feel you could
send this on behalf of some of us: say for example as a resolution passed at
the tenth national UK community psychology conference?
I will in any case send it to the pople suggested, as well as my local MP.
Thanks, Annie
