[Pam Estes Brewer]

Charles--

I would appreciate your sharing the pdf as well.  On my to-do list is a study of the communication path from social communication to trust to knowledge transfer in virtual teams.

Best,
Pam

A good thing I have a computer to remind me of some of the things I've done ...

The following may be even more relevant as it is both more recent and as it seeks to conjoin the work on trust from philosophy and computer science with some (fairly) recent work on trust in communities in CMC and Internet
Studies:

Trust, social identity, and computation. In Richard Harper (ed.), *The Complexity of Trust, Computing, and Society*, 199-226. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2014.

Again, will be happy to share a PDF if this looks interesting and possibly helpful.

Best,
charles
