Dear BIBCO participants:
    At the recent PoCo meeting the CONSER Coordinator requested and was
granted approval for the expansion of the CONSER OpCo Meeting from a 2
day to a 3-day meeting.  The PoCo asked the BIBCO Coordinator if the
BIBCO OpCo needed to expand the meeting time to parallel the CONSER OpCo
3-day meeting structure.  As a corollary, does BIBCO prefer an all
inclusive representation on the OpCo that parallels that of the CONSER
structure?
   In advance of the BIBCO-At-Large Meeting, the attached survey is
being conducted in order to garner feedback to supply to the PCC
Steering Committee that must approve all funding issues and governance
changes.

DEADLINE:  Please respond by December 15, 2000 to [log in to unmask]
