Just getting in, Happy New Year everyone, but wanted to let folks know that, not receiving any other suggestions or proposals and getting some positive feedback, I did submit a proposal to Euro-Dig entitled "The role of the noncommercial user in a commercialised internet". My understanding is that Nuno is going to try to attend the EuroDig planning meeting in Lisbon on 29 January and hopefully will be able to help shepherd the proposal through the selection process. <div>

Looking at the discussion, I'm not sure what happened -<br>
I don't know how it should've been done: like, who could have done<br>
what on behalf of NCUC, how it should've been decided, &c.<br>
<br>
But perhaps our failure to talk it through in time suggests<br>
we couldn't've been able to organize it anyway.<br>
