I agree that we need to do that Nuno, and I would welcome all
suggestions about how to achieve that goal. It is hard because we
are all so busy in NCSG, what could be the best, most economical (in
terms of time and information overload) to do this? I think we need
a running roster of all the work activities somewhere easy to
access...I know that I lose track of the three working groups I am
on, and I certainly lost track of the comment periods open<br>
<br>
Anyway, ideas most welcome! I think we are all committed to getting
folks more involved, and building a dynamic constituency in these
busy times.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
