Hi Everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful summer.

I am attaching the minutes for the really great SISPA AGM we had back in June.  You'll note a lot of interesting developments and future directions as you read them.

A few points to note:
1) we need a volunteer to shepherd the SISPA dialogue on arrangement issues suggested by point #3.  (Heather Home, you spring to mind as you did such a great job on the Arrangement panel at the 2011 conference.... Just a thought!).  Would a November date suit most participants?

2) In terms of the volume of occasional papers listed in item #5:  we are looking for several names to join me to form the editorial board for this.  Web publishing would be a wonderful way for us to produce a high-quality collection and trump any lag we might encounter by going the traditional publishing route.

I look forward to hearing from you on these and other issues arising from the minutes or, as always, from your own musings.

All the best,
Catherine
