Dear All, FYI I am currently putting together wiki, to collaboratively and constructively respond to what has happened. Had a few false starts with the install but should have it up by tomorrow so I will share the address with you then and you will be able to make an account to begin editing and putting together both an open letter and also take some of the conversations that have come forward and develop a framework for digital arts policy that we could present to the arts council. Either way it will be a constructive exercise.
