[PADG:1972] Discussion Groups

["Melissa McAfee" <mcafee@xxxxxxxxx>]

When I sent out the Policy, Planning, and Research Committee’s
survey on Discussion Groups, I neglected to include information on Interest
Groups (IGs). Since they are not currently part of ALCTS
you may not be aware of them. <font

this link to an FAQ from the ALCTS Newsletter that explains these groups:

ALCTS will be voting on whether to include <span
class=SpellE>IGs at the next election. If they are approved <font
 size=2 face=Arial>PARS<font
size=2 face=Arial> will have
the option to include them or change DGs to <span
class=SpellE>IGs. Apologies for any confusion my earlier message may
have caused.
