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
