**Disclosure of Members Interests on the Critical Geography Forum** As list administrator, I would like to suggest that Forum members begin the new year by disclosing some basic information of who they are, with an emphasis perhaps on research/community/ political interests. Some of us already know one another, but with a membership of approximately 300 people, and growing, the benefits of this exercise appear to me to be obvious. Aside from encouraging communication between members, a general disclosure can "populate" the forum and make it a friendlier place in which to engage in discussion. If this idea is generally taken up, I would also suggest that in future all new members who join the forum be encouraged to introduce themselves in a similar manner. Disclosure of this sort is already a common piece of net- etiquette in use in other discussion lists. If you decide to go ahead, please phrase the title of your email submission as follows: "Disclosure [Name], [Institution]" for example Disclosure Karl Marx, Swansea FC This will allow members to filter these messages in their mail boxes with ease. This format will also assist in collation of the information on members interests for display on _Critical Geography Forum On-Line_, the new web-site for the list in preparation. I hope members find this suggestion worthwhile and that everybody's day, evening, morning is going fine.
