1-day extension

Dear Colleagues:

This e-conference will officially stay open one day longer—through May 23, 2006. At this time, HIP will discontinue the moderation and synthesize the postings. However, HIP has agreed to keep the forum open for those who wish to continue sharing—it will function more like a listserv: without moderation and synthesis. Feel free to keep the discussions going and introduce new themes. For those who no longer wish to continue receiving forum emails, follow the instructions for getting off the conference at the end of any forum message. The e-conference postings have become public now, so anyone can log onto HIP’s web site and view the discussion threads. But to post a message, you still need to log in. As mentioned, we will post the syntheses as soon as they are ready…sometime in June.

On behalf of all my HIP colleagues, I thank you for your participation and openness in contributing to this forum. Congratulations to all! It has been an excellent learning experience with a high degree of networking and wealth of information and rich experiences shared.

Warm regards,

Renuka Bery
