RE: Compcomm: Draft "IUCr Computing Commission's opinion on

[Lachlan Cranswick <l.m.d.cranswick@dl.ac.uk>]

Hi,

Just looking at my Compcomm Email archive.  Did my initial 
reply to David and Simon make it through to the list?  

Just in case - it follows again.

Lachlan.

'It is common knowledge that' has been deleted.

If it is the "opinion" of the Computing Commission - do we
need professional advice before making our opinions public?
(have been relatively recently at Columbia University - I am
perhaps more used to First Amendment Rights?)

Also, have read Simon's Email and think it might be better if
we first get 1 or 2 relevant weblinks to the list for members
to read up on - then put back a starting draft again.

My Email has stuffed up and it will take me a little
while to recover from this.

Lachlan.
