Dear ourmedia friends-

(1) A few months have passed since the Sydney conference, and many of us
have returned to your busy lives. Just a reminder that the working groups-
communication, governance and next conference are working, slowly but
hopefully steadily in the background.

You can check on what they are doing by looking at the list archives and can
sign up to join the discussion. Most are still English-only, but we are
hoping to amend that soon.

Details:

Could we please get an update from each working group facilitator on this
list?


(2) A small group of researchers in Osaka is blogging info related to 'our
media', much of it recycled from various mailing lists and mostly English,
but some original or translated from other languages.
