Steve Griffin’s 18 Sep 2000 Greetings: 

Steve Griffin’s 18 Sep 2000 Greetings Ed, Thanks. Yes, I'm sorry to be missing such a great meeting. While I don't have any slides, I think it's important for the group to hear that the IIS Division and DLI is putting a very high priority on establishing new international collaborative efforts and we hope to steadily increase our investment in this area in FY2001 and beyond. We look forward to continuing our joint sponsorship of activities with UK/JISC and the Germany/DFG. We are also looking forward to a coordinated call for proposals with EC (DG XIII/E-2 "Cultural Heritage Applications") in Jan 2001 per Bernard's message to Jose last week. Steve
