"As someone who is relatively new to the profession I am amazed by the
amount of cyber acres people use discussing issues regarding internal SoA
matters. The nra list serve provides an excellent forum for discussing the
wider issues that effect the profession, yet these are hardly ever
discussed.
Last week, at the London Region meeting of the SoA, Deborah Jenkins of the
LMA, raised some very interesting issues regarding the relationship between
the profession and MLAC/DCMS. At a time when archives is being projected on
to the national arena, as never before, surely big issues like this need to
be debated."
At the risk of sounding obvious, email lists are created by the emails
people send to it. If Simon thinks there are more important issues to be
considered - and he may be right though the possible creation of a new SIG
is hardly trivial - I'm afraid it is up to him to email us about them.
