Linda,

Many thanks for volunteering - it's much appreciated. Anyone else
attending the conference who would be able to help out for half an
hour at Friday lunch?

Thanks,
Rebecca
(Web Indexing SIG Manager)

>> The Web Indexing SIG will have an informal networking meeting during

>> April 24th , 11:30am - 12:30pm.
>>
>> Our table will be shared with the Taxonomies and Controlled
>> Vocabularies SIG to maximise networking opportunities. I am including
>> a message below from Heather Hedden (writing as Manager of the
>> Taxonomies and CV SIG) explaining more about this joint table.
>>
>> Just as Heather has asked for a member of the Taxonomies and CV SIG to
>> commit to be present from 11:30 to 12:00 and another member from 12:00
>> to 12:30, we need two members to do the same for the Web Indexing SIG.
>> Please let me know if you are willing to volunteer. Neither Heather
>> or I will be attending the conference.

>>
>> I would also like to make request that one SIG member commit to be

>> present from 12:00 to 12:30. That way we have the table covered with at
