Subject: [CNI-ANNOUNCE] Draft report of ACLS Cyberinfrastructure for
Humanities Commission now available

As described in the announcement from Commission Chair John Unsworth 
below, this very important draft report on cyberinfrastructure needs 
for the humanities and related social sciences is now available. I 
encourage you to not only read it, but to provide comments back to 
the Commission where appropriate.

For those attending the Fall CNI meeting in Phoenix we have scheduled 
a double breakout session on this report; in the first session, 
Commission members will discuss the report's findings and proposals, 
and the second session is intended to provide an opportunity for the 
CNI community to have an extended discussion of the report with 
member of the Commission.

Full disclosure: I serve as an advisor to this Commission.

Clifford Lynch
Director, CNI
