(It appears that the attachment to my last email failed - so I have pasted the information below) Dear all, the journal Surveillance and Society needs your help in preparing to become a registered charity. If you could spare us a few minutes of your time to write us a letter of endorsement we would be most grateful. If you are willing to help us please see the details in the letter below. Dear Colleagues The editors of Surveillance and Society are currently preparing to make Surveillance and Society a registered charitable company. This will enable us to give the journal a firm organisational basis and allow us to have a wider membership with an expanded portfolio of activities involving a greater number of people. One of the requirements we have to fulfil to become a charity is to demonstrate the charitable nature of our activities. The following would constitute charitable objects: Providing a resource for students and teachers by providing a free source of scholarly research and links to information on the nature of contemporary surveillance practice Providing a first class resource for scholars and researchers by publishing a peer reviewed, internationally recognised journal, which has established itself as the leading journal in the field of surveillance studies and making it freely available to the academic community and beyond . It would greatly help us if you would be prepared to write some glowing words about Surveillance and Society confirming that we do indeed meet these objectives. If you are prepared to, I would ask you do two things.
