Dear all,
thanks to Ant Beck (and feedback he had from Cameron Neylon) we now have 
a draft of response at http://archeo.okfnpad.org/responsetoaia but we 
would like to improve it, pulling in figures for other countries than 
the UK and making it a bit less "pedantic" (in Ant's words).

Ant, Leif and myself have agreed a Skype call this afternoon at 4pm BST. 
We'd be happy if anyone of you can join us, or send suggestions by 
e-mail if you can't. I'm sorry a few e-mails went off-list, and I want 
to make sure that everyone feels comfortable with collaborating on this 
initiative.

Looking forward to speaking with you later,
steko

PS is any of us a member of AIA? Do you know any?
