[Sigmgt-l] Future Development of SIG-MGT

[Michel J. Menou]

If I am not mistaken the "historic" focus was on management of
information centers and services.
I have noting against updating, expanding and hopefully re-ordering:
information, contents, knowledge, etc. management.
But this may imply overlaps with other SIGs; thus require some joint
review and adjustements.
