Subject: Press at the AIW

Chuck,

I have tried to send the attached note to the aiw-general mailing list
twice this morning, but I don't think that it has got through.  If the
original note has still not reached you by the time you get this,
could you do me a favor and forward it on my behalf.

Thanks, John

We would like to see the press attending the opening plenary
sessions at the coming AIW.  As Mark Hartley says, we have all
put a lot of time and effort into developing APPN as a technology
usable throughout the industry, and using the press to spread that
message to the rest of the industry has value to all of us.

We believe that there *is* a real danger that Chuck and Dave
Bryant point to of inhibiting participation in the sessions
where the press are present.  But this needs to be balanced
against the good publicity that we can gain by opening-up the
proceedings - Chuck's suggestion of restricting access to just
the opening plenary sessions seems to us to strike the right
balance.

Regards, John.
