I have sent two short emails to Dr Lee Vousden giving some information
about OSS, and have received in reply an invitation to attend a policy
discussion at the DTI building, 1 Victoria St, pm 15th May.
While I am able to attend, I am by no means the most expert member of
this group. Would anyone more qualified than myself like me to ask for
another invitation? I have no idea how much space will be available, or
whether a larger hall would be available if neccessary.
