[Cms-moe-list] Fwd: artsfunding digest: October 29, 2001

[Bob STEELE(CMS)]

Thanks Kirsty - Just picked this up.

I agree someone should go, it looks useful. 

I'll go, but don't want to hog it if others think someone else would be more
appropriate or would benefit themselves and the project more.

I guess whoever goes should put some sort of report on the site.

If anyone is really keen to go, please let me know.

Bob
