The results of survey #2 are available, in the same way as the first survey, as SURV2 INTRO, SURV2 COMMENTS and SURV2 RAWDATA. Before you rush to type the TELL LISTSERV AT LEPICS commands, please take note of the following: - As for survey #1, the RAWDATA file will not be distributed to any list. If you want it, please order it from [log in to unmask] - The COMMENTS and INTRO files are being distributed to the LSTSRV-L list ONLY. If you are not on LSTSRV-L and you would like a copy, you will have to order them from [log in to unmask] I didn't send them to LSTSRV-M and EARN-NOG because most people on that list are also on LSTSRV-L, and the few who aren't can order the files directly rather than the majority getting several copies. I have sent a description of the three present plans to Alain Auroux, and I hope the EARN Executive will be able to discuss them at the next meeting. There are then three possibilities: 1. EARN agrees with one of the three plans. In that case, I can start the final survey (#3) immediately, and indicate the preferred EARN choice in the introduction. 2. EARN does not like any of the plans, but has nothing else to propose. In that case I can also start the survey immediately, and I expect EARN not to complain if they do not like the final decision. 3. EARN does not like any of the plans, and has something else to propose. I will then wait up to 2-3 weeks for EARN to prepare a description of this proposal, which we will probably call plan #4, and make the final survey as soon as it is ready. In any case survey #3 ought to have been finished before the 15th of March, which leaves plenty of time to finalize the agreements before EARN'89. Eric
