Please vote for new Executive Committee members!
Apr 25, 2005

Dear ISGO Members,

The ISGO Executive Committee and Advisory Panel have had extensive
discussions on a proposal to have a relationship with the Journal of
Structural and Functional Genomics, giving ISGO members special
privileges. Making this proposal possible is a plan to have a formal
membership of ISGO.

The proposal is outlined below. All discussion so far on the proposal has
been very favorable. If you have comments or suggestions on the proposal
please let any member of the ISGO Executive Committee know.

Thanks!
-Tom Terwilliger, for the ISGO Executive Committee
