This is not a clear cut issue - I work in a Museum Service. I also work as a
museums consultant to a company that does web design (amongst other services
to museums e.g. touch screen interactives). I am a member of GEM. So where
do I stand in offering my services? As a freelance? as a colleague? as a
fellow GEM member? If I mention the name of the company am I using the
e-list commercially? Interesting . . .

GEM runs a freelance network group which web designers could join. This does
not amount to an approved list nor would we do so. I would also encourage
them to join GEM ([log in to unmask]). Contact Robin Clutterbuck
([log in to unmask]) for further information.
