>Subject: Harley Wood lecturer
>
>Dear SOC
>
>We need to firm up on our first decision, and that is the Harley
>Wood lecturer.  In Chris Wright's email to us on March 17, he said
>that Mike Dopita had been suggested by the ASA Council. It is now
>also my understanding that the ASA Council has approached Mike
>with the idea, and he's prepared to be nominated.
>
>This doesn't remove the SOC from the loop, but it is accepted that
>the ASA Council will have a major say in the selection. Nevertheless
>the SOC needs to make a formal recommendation to the ASA Council
>via Gary da Costa.
>
>I've decided I'm happy to support Mike's nomination.  I think he
>has all the right connections that would interest a Canberra
>audience, e.g. Mt Stromlo professor, Federation Fellow, etc. and
>there is still a remarkable level of public sympathy towards Mt
>Stromlo in this city following the fires.
>
>But if any of you disagree, or suggest an alternative speaker, now
>is the time to know.  To save bandwidth, may I suggest that if you
>*agree* with Mike being the HW lecturer, then *don't* reply to me!
>Of course, if you love emailing then I'm happy to hear from you.
>
>all the best
