</span>It is great to see you're active again and that activity is welcome.<br>
Even better if you coordinate your activity with other people.<br>
Reading up on the last few dozen list messages over the last year<br>
could catch you up to date.<br>

<br>
</span>If someone wants to take the lead and they appear to have the<br>
capability, then I would support that. I'm not sure that we have any<br>
volunteers but it is a discussion that we can have. I am interested<br>
in continuing to copy edit if there is an active Journal.<br>

<br>
</span>I think that it would be fine if you want to do an annual report, but<br>
coordinate that with other active people and participate in the list<br>
discussions so that everyone is on the same page.<br>
<br>
On related topics, do you have any interest in publishing the 2012<br>
Annual Report? Should we publish that?<br>
