The AACC web also has a presentation and a Q&A session on this topic. http://www.aacc.org/events/expert_access/2011/october/pages/default.aspx

The latter answers most of my former question and what we should be doing. It seems from the few answers that I received that this is not necessarily what we are doing in practice.

Maybe there is time for a wider collaboration?

Regards, Rita
