[Sigia-l] Role of SIGIA, the group

[Ed Housman]

Yes, our listserv has become quite influential, and has probably done a lot to
promote interest in ASIS&T.  I agree with Danial that we should build on that. 
Set up goals, task groups to produce white papers, consider standards, and
encourage local meetings everywhere.  Also, we might consider mobilizing forces
to produce an online education program, and perhaps an expertise locator.

Just some rambling ideas from your founder.
