Hi Ulla and anyone else who was at the GOR conference in Gottingen. I think thats an excellent suggestion, however I have a minor reservation. The GOR is primarily aimed at German Online research, and while there were a few other presenters at the conference, besides myself, who were international in origin it was primarily a German affair. The AOIR seems aimed not at one county, would the GOR be willing to loose its primary German focus?? I think it would be unfair to expect it to do so. Perhaps a 'strategic alliance' would be more useful, something that allows co operation for a year or so, that is if AOIR would like to 'do their thing' in Germany next year. I was kind of hoping they might look at Barcelona though as I've never been there.... Anyway thats my two pence worth. Regards Marcus Leaning

alrao> Is a joint conference with GOR desirable? Yes. But I'd prefer if it would clearly be designed as an International conference with broad participation of members and colleagues from different countries in the various functions.
alrao> Is it do-able? Yes
