Dear all

Recently Ted Coopman, the elected AoIR grad student representative,
posted the call for expressions of interest in being involved in the
AoIR Graduate Student Research Group, eliciting some discussion on the
list. As President I just want to emphasise that this proposal is fully
supported by the executive, based on Ted's detailed planning. It also
follows on from some of the things that Ted indicated he wanted to do as
grad student rep in the pre-election discussions in 2005.I also want to
indicate (as Ted has already explained) that the GSRG is in a pilot
stage and may or may not continue, or be changed, depending on what
happens over the next year or so. Indeed the comments made on the list
will prove useful in helping to shape and develop the GSRG in ways that
are fully supportive of both the broad aims of the Association and
specifically supporting and promoting graduate students.

Can I ask that any graduate students who are interested in involvement
in the group contact Ted directly for more information. Since it is a
pilot project, involvement will assist us making sure that the GSRG
continues and develops to meet a variety of needs within the
Association. Shortly, Ted will provide some basic info and additional
details as they emerge on the aoir website.

Cheers
Matt
